Miguel Suy-Xocol, aged 30, was killed on May 19, 2016, in Houston, Texas. The incident took place late in the evening near an apartment complex where Miguel was fatally shot. Houston Police Department officers responded to reports of gunfire and discovered Miguel suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter.
Investigations indicated that the shooting may have been the result of an altercation involving multiple individuals, and it took place in a residential neighborhood known for several prior incidents of violence. Witnesses reported seeing several males fleeing the scene immediately after the shooting, which led investigators to believe that Miguel might have been targeted, although a clear motive has not been publicly disclosed.
Despite efforts by law enforcement to gather information and conduct interviews with witnesses, the case went cold without any arrests. The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division Cold Case Squad continues to work on solving Miguel Suy-Xocol's homicide, and they have requested the assistance of the public in providing any information that might help lead to an arrest. Anyone with knowledge of the case has been urged to contact the Houston Police or Crime Stoppers. This case, like many others in Houston, highlights the challenges faced by investigators dealing with unsolved violent crimes in the city, where community assistance is crucial for breakthroughs.
