On April 9, 2014, 23-year-old Jose Miguel Salinas and his girlfriend, 23-year-old Melissa Ann Guerra, were found fatally shot in their apartment at 5402 Renwick Drive in Houston, Texas. A neighbor, alerted by the cries of the couple's five-month-old daughter, discovered the bodies with the unharmed infant lying between them. The Houston Police Department reported no signs of forced entry or ransacking, suggesting the victims may have known their assailants. Witnesses described two male suspects fleeing the scene: one approximately 18-20 years old, 5'11" tall, with a light complexion and distinctive round afro, wearing a pink or orange T-shirt; the other about 17-20 years old, 5'9" tall, with a dark complexion and twisted curls, dressed in a white T-shirt. Despite releasing composite sketches and appealing for public assistance, the case remains unsolved. The couple's daughter was placed in the care of Child Protective Services, with family members seeking custody. Authorities continue to urge anyone with information to contact the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
