Jorge Amador, a 42-year-old Hispanic man, tragically lost his life on February 7, 2015, in Houston, Texas. He was shot while trying to protect his wife during a robbery at their beauty salon, Riccy Beauty Salon, located at 6118 Clarewood Drive. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. when two masked suspects approached the couple, demanding money. When one of the suspects pushed Amador's wife to the ground, Jorge attempted to defend her, leading to him being shot by one of the assailants.
He was immediately rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.
The suspects were described as one Hispanic male and one African-American male, both in their mid-20s to early 30s, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, and dressed in black clothing. They fled the scene in a gray or white four-door car, possibly a Toyota Corolla. The Houston Police Department launched an investigation into the fatal shooting, urging anyone with information to come forward.
Despite the investigation, no arrests were made immediately following the incident. The case remained open, with law enforcement continuing to seek leads and gather evidence to identify and apprehend the suspects responsible for Jorge Amador's death. The community and Amador's family hoped for justice, but as of now, the case has not seen any significant breakthroughs in terms of arrests or convictions.
