Four individuals have been accused of killing a man during the Labor Day weekend in Texas City.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the medical professionals declared him deceased.
An affidavit from the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office revealed that a witness was present during the shooting incident. As per the document, there was someone who saw the incident take place.
According to reports, he was left stranded in a room at the Executive Inn and Suites located in southeast Houston and woke up disoriented, with no recollection of his whereabouts.

According to reports, Aaron Rodriguez was captured on a Ring camera picking up Alvarez from her house.

According to Palma, he was restrained and had his vision obstructed by Rodriguez and two women.
As captured on the surveillance footage of the Executive Inn and Suites, Palma was seen being assisted into a room by Aaron Rodriguez, Tara Rodriguez, Cassie Lopez, and another individual.
