The homicide unit, which operates around the clock, responded to the crime scene and conducted follow-up investigations to piece together the details of the case. The police encouraged anyone with information to come forward to assist with identifying potential suspects or leads. The year 2007 saw a significant number of homicides in Houston, with Lopez's death adding to the grim tally as the city dealt with a high rate of violent crime at that time.
