Julius Escobar, 19, a Hispanic/Latino male, was shot and killed on the evening of June 14, 2025, at an apartment complex in the 8200 block of Fulton Street in north Houston. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 8 p.m. and found Escobar in the parking lot with a gunshot wound. Officers provided aid until paramedics arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity and age were confirmed by Houston police in a news release issued two days later.
Detectives reported that the shooter fled immediately after the attack in a white, four-door sedan. As of the initial police update, investigators had not announced an arrest, and they asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers. Subsequent local listings memorialized Escobar’s death on June 14 in Houston but did not report an identified suspect or any charges, underscoring that the case remained open following the initial appeal for tips.
