Nearly five years after 24-year-old Joshua Robles was gunned down while driving in east Houston, investigators are still searching for answers. Crime Stoppers of Houston is now offering up to $5,000 for a tip that cracks the case, hoping money will succeed where time has not.
What Investigators Say
Robles was shot on December 17, 2020, when someone opened fire on his gray Nissan Sentra as he drove near North Carolina Street, close to the I-610 East Loop and Clinton Drive. After the shots were fired, he managed to drive himself to a nearby parking lot on Clinton Drive before first responders were called. He was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital, as reported by FOX 26 Houston.
