Rene Gonzales was 43 when he was killed in a shooting in Houston, Texas, on December 14, 2007. The shooting occurred during an altercation in a residential area and was connected to a violent incident involving members of a prison gang. Gonzales was specifically targeted in that confrontation and died as a result.

The case is tied to broader gang-related violence in the region and investigators have faced obstacles, including gang affiliations and witness intimidation. Those factors have complicated efforts to resolve what happened that night.
