Charges have been filed against three suspects arrested in the fatal shooting of a man at 7126 Woodridge Drive about 9:15 p.m. on June 25, 2022.
The suspects, Carlos Romero-Munoz, 18, Jordan Montalvo, 18, and Danilo Bonilla, 22, are all charged with capital murder in the 179th State District Court. Booking photos of all three suspects are attached to this news release.
The victim is identified as Patrik Saul Maldonado, 57.
HPD Homicide Division Sergeants M. Arrington, W. Elsbury and Detectives L. Kauffman and D. Arnold reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at a residence at the above address and found Mr. Maldonado lying in the front yard. He had sustained several gunshot wounds. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced Maldonado deceased.
According to witnesses, Maldonado was walking along the sidewalk when a male suspect driving a vehicle stopped next to him. A tall, slender male exited the vehicle and shot at Maldonado several times. As Maldonado fled, the suspect chased and caught up to him. The suspect then shot Maldonado several times, got back into the vehicle and fled eastbound on Woodridge Drive.
Further investigation identified Romero-Munoz, Montalvo and Bonilla as suspects in this case and Montalvo as the suspected shooter. On Monday (Feb. 7), Romero-Munoz and Bonilla were arrested without incident. Montalvo was in jail on a previous unrelated charge.
Anyone with additional information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
