Floriberto Salazar-Rodriguez, a 28-year-old male, was fatally shot during an incident that occurred on November 22, 2012, in Houston, Texas. He was attacked at his residence by multiple unknown assailants who forced entry into his home in what appeared to be a targeted attack. The assailants shot Salazar-Rodriguez and fled the scene before law enforcement could arrive. When officers from the Houston Police Department arrived, they found Salazar-Rodriguez with gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division led the investigation, which has faced challenges due to a lack of witness cooperation and physical evidence. The incident was highlighted by Crime Stoppers of Houston, which worked alongside local law enforcement to appeal for any information that could assist in solving the case. They offered a cash reward for any tips leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible. Despite these efforts, the case has remained unsolved, with investigators hoping that renewed community attention and the use of modern investigative tools may eventually lead to justice for Floriberto and his family.
The Homicide Division's Cold Case Squad continues to review unsolved homicides such as this one, emphasizing the importance of public support and anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers to help resolve these tragic cases.
