On February 3, 2014, David Campos-Zacarias, 30, was tragically shot and killed in an incident that police believe may have been a robbery. Campos-Zacarias and Tomas Campos-Cortes had parked and were socializing near their vehicle at the Renwick Apartments in southwest Houston. While they were outside in the parking lot, an unknown assailant approached and opened fire, striking both men.
Campos-Zacarias was declared dead at the scene, while Campos-Cortes was rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Police launched an investigation and identified a person of interest seen around the area—a Hispanic male, approximately 5'10", who appeared to be in his early 30s and was wearing a white T-shirt and baseball cap. Authorities believe that the suspect might have intended to rob Campos-Zacarias and Campos-Cortes before the situation escalated to violence. Law enforcement agencies, with the support of Crime Stoppers, continue to seek public assistance in solving the case, offering rewards for information leading to an arrest. Despite these efforts, the case remains unresolved as investigators pursue any new leads that might provide answers to the families affected.
