Edgar Tapia was 21 when he was fatally shot on November 1, 2014, in Houston. He and his wife and children had just returned from visiting family and were walking through their apartment complex in the 16200 block of Imperial Valley Drive around 12:35 a.m. when they were confronted by an armed man. Tapia told his family to run and was later found with a gunshot wound to his side. He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital and died a few hours later.
Houston police described the primary suspect as a Black male about 5 feet 6 inches tall wearing a black hoodie and jeans. A second possible suspect was described as a Black male about 5 feet 8 inches tall; both were seen leaving in a red two-door Honda. A composite sketch of one suspect was released and investigators asked the public to come forward with any information.
If anyone has information about that night or recognizes the suspects or the vehicle, please contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
