Pedro Diaz, a 55-year-old Hispanic male, tragically died on June 20, 2014, in Houston, TX. He was last seen alive at his snow cone stand off I-45 & Aldine Bender in north Houston. Diaz was driving home after closing up the stand when he was shot to death in the 100 block of Mill Stream. Investigators believe he stopped his mini-van and got out, which led to the shooting.
A neighbor heard yelling and gunfire but no items were taken from Diaz, suggesting it might have been a random act of violence.
The Houston Police Department has been investigating the case, but no arrests have been made. The family has been vocal about their desire for justice, and the case remains an open cold case. The investigation has faced challenges, including conflicting witness descriptions and a lack of direct evidence linking any suspects to the crime. Despite these obstacles, the family continues to hope for answers and has erected a memorial for Diaz in his honor.
The case has garnered attention from local media and law enforcement, but as of now, it remains unsolved. The family's plea for information continues, and they keep his memory alive by sharing stories with his grandchildren. The investigation is ongoing, and the Houston Police Department has requested anyone with information to come forward.
