Arnoldo Moreno, a 26-year-old Hispanic male, tragically passed away on May 14, 2019, in Houston, TX. He was found dead next to a pickup truck at Keith-Weiss Park around 7:10 p.m. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound.
Authorities identified Martin Vela, also 26 years old, as the suspect in Moreno's murder. Surveillance footage showed Vela running from the park shortly after the shooting. Despite being charged with murder, Vela has not yet been arrested.
The investigation revealed that Moreno and Vela had an argument before the shooting occurred.
The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division and Crime Stoppers have been actively seeking information to locate Vela. Moreno's family, including his pregnant wife Sandra Juarez and their children, have been vocal about their grief and desire for justice.
The case remains open, and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to Moreno's family.
