According to Houston police, witnesses reported seeing a silver sedan leave the scene following the shooting. No arrests have been made, and Mendoza’s father and sister still don’t have answers.”It would help me be stronger for my parents because I’m lost,” Brock said.

Mendoza had two sons, ages 8 and 10. The victim’s family is asking for information or videos to assist the police in finding the killer.

“Life will never be the same. I just wish I had answers. That’s it. I want answers. I have none,” Brock said. Family and friends gathered on July 16 at 7 p.m. at Houston’s George T. Park for a vigil in Mendoza’s honor.ย

Another aspiring Houston rapper lost his life to gun violence on April 15. A neighbor found the 36-year-old dead inside his home after seeing blood on the ground when he went to check on him. When Houston police arrived at the scene at 1 p.m., they learned the shooting had occurred hours earlier, with the victim having been shot at least once, according toย ABC13.

Investigators learned that neighbors heard gunshots around 4:30 a.m. Because it was dark and gunshots were relatively common, nobody went outside to look into it.

A neighbor discovered a car with a shattered window later in the morning. Upon checking next door, he found his neighbor bleeding inside his home. HPD detective C. Duncan confirmed the residence was equipped with recording equipment.

“I don’t know why this happened,” said a friend of the unnamed victim. “I have no idea because everybody loved him. Everybody liked him.” Several hours before the shooting, the man was last active on social media posting about his music career.
