On March 7, 2007, Teno Tavares Baltrip, also known as "Trip," was fatally shot in Houston, Texas. The incident occurred at the Crestmont Village Apartments located at 5638 Selinsky, around 8:45 p.m. Houston police officers responding to a shooting call discovered Baltrip, age 26, deceased in his car. Baltrip had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing a black male running away from Baltrip's vehicle immediately after the shooting, though the suspect has not been identified.
The motive behind the homicide remains unclear, but evidence at the scene suggested that it may have been a drug-related robbery, as marijuana was found scattered around Baltrip's vehicle. The Houston Police Department urged anyone with information about the case to come forward, highlighting the challenge investigators faced in determining exactly what led to Baltrip's tragic death.
Baltrip was a record producer for City Slikkaz, and his death left an impact on his community. Funeral services for Teno Baltrip were held at Greater St. Matthews Baptist Church in Houston on March 14, 2007, where friends and family gathered to pay their respects and remember his life. Despite the investigation, the case has not been conclusively resolved, and any tips or information that could lead to progress remain valuable to the authorities.
