HOUSTON – Police are trying to track down four males who they say were in a gray Toyota RAV4 after a tow truck driver was murdered on the North Houston almost a month ago.
Now, that man’s family is recounting what they say happened and why they believe their loved one’s murder was one of the most brutal forms of overkill.
“He ended up right here, and his head was in this area right here,” Marselina Ramirez said, pointing to the area where he son’s lifeless body was left.
Ramirez hasn’t been able to return to the impound lot on the 59 hundred block of North Freeway since July 12. That was the day when her only son, 23-year-old, Christian Segundo, lost his life in a barrage of gunfire.
“My son did nothing wrong. All he did was go to work,” she said.
Segundo was a tow truck driver dropping off a vehicle.
“That was actually going to be his last car of the night, and it ended up being his last car,” she added.
Ramirez says her son ran into four males who were trying to take another vehicle without paying the fee.
“They didn’t have a receipt,” she said.
After possibly seeing firearms and alerting the office, she says Segundo, the loving and caring father of two young children, became the suspected thieves’ target.
“[They had] several guns, but I couldn’t tell you how many,” she said.
She believes at least one automatic weapon was used and says her son had to have been struck more than 60 times.
“He was shredded here, he had gunshots here, here, all his lower extremities. Like, it was overkill,” she said pointing to almost every spot on her body.
Houston police released images of four male suspects and a gray Toyota RAV4 with Colorado license plates, believed to be the suspect vehicle. With nearly a month having passed since their loved one passed and no justice, Segundo’s family is begging the public for answers.
“To me, animals like that deserve to be put out of their misery and behind bars on death row somewhere,” Ramirez said.
