Rigoberto Hernandez, a 28-year-old Hispanic man from Crosby, Texas, was shot to death on August 24, 2021, at a residence in the 500 block of Sundown Meadows Street. Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office found Hernandez with no signs of life after an altercation involving his ex-girlfriend, Ana Laura Cortez, who arrived at the home with an unidentified man. The man pulled a handgun, struggled with Hernandez and fired multiple rounds before fleeing in a blue Honda Accord.

A witness who had been staying with Hernandez for about two weeks said Hernandez had been exchanging texts with Cortez that morning and that the argument began when Cortez came to collect her belongings. The witness tried to intervene with a machete but was pulled away; the unidentified man also attempted to shoot the witness before fleeing. The witness’s account helped identify 24-year-old Daniel Valenzuela, who was charged with murder; his record reportedly includes prior charges for assault, theft and driving while intoxicated.
