Gabino Gomez Duarte, a 38-year-old Hispanic man, was tragically killed on May 14, 2020, in Houston, Texas. He was shot and killed during a robbery at a shopping center in north Harris County. According to reports, Duarte was ambushed by a black man who attempted to rob him, leading to a physical altercation during which Duarte was shot. The suspects, a black man and a black woman, fled the scene in a maroon and tan Ford Expedition.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office has been actively
investigating the case and released surveillance images of the suspects and the getaway vehicle. Despite their efforts, the suspects remain at large, and the investigation is ongoing. Duarte's family, who described him as a hardworking man who provided for his two children, has been deeply affected by his loss. They have been working to gather funds to send his body to Mexico so his mother can see him one last time.
The family has been vocal about seeking justice for Duarte's death, urging the community to come forward with any information that could help solve the case. The Harris County Sheriff's Office and CrimeStoppers have both appealed to the public for assistance in identifying and locating the suspects.
It has been a painful ordeal for Duarte's family, especially his mother, who had already lost another son not long before. The family continues to hold out hope that the suspects will be found and brought to justice.
