Charges have been filed against a suspect wanted in two fatal shootings – the first incident on June 13, 2016 in Missouri City and the second at 265 El Dorado Blvd. in Clear Lake about 10:05 p.m. on July 9, 2017.

The suspect, Douglas Alexander Herrera-Hernandez, 20, aka Alexander Hernandez, aka “Terror,” is charged with capital murder in the 240 th State District Court in Fort Bend County and murder in the 262 nd State District Court in Harris County.

Houston Police Department Homicide Division Sgt. C. Sturdivant and Officer W. Gilbert said that on July 9, HPD officers responded to a shooting that occurred at 265 El Dorado.

Witnesses reported hearing people arguing, followed by multiple gunshots. Responding officers found the victim, Kevin Alvarez, 26, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Further investigation led to the identity of Herrera-Hernandez as the shooter in Mr. Alvarez’s death. He was subsequently charged in this case and currently remains at large. Herrera-Hernandez is believed to be traveling with this girlfriend, Josselin Leyhmar Romero Flores, and their infant child.

On June 13, 2016, Herrera-Hernandez participated in the murder of a male, 16, who had witnessed several gang-related murders, police said. This incident occurred at Buffalo Run Park in Missouri City and was jointly investigated by the Missouri City and Houston Police Departments. Herrera-Hernandez was subsequently identified as a suspect in this case, charged, and a warrant issued for his arrest.

Anyone with information on the locations of either suspect Herrera-Hernandez or Flores is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308- 3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

HPD Offers Tips on Hit-and-Run Crashes

January 26th, 2016

76As investigators in the Houston Police Department Vehicular Crimes Division investigate at least four hit-and-run crashes that killed three people since Jan. 23, investigators urge pedestrians to be cautious in and around Houston’s busy roadways, especially at night.

At a news briefing, investigators asked for the public’s help in identifying vehicles and drivers wanted in hit-and-run crashes and reminded the public that a Crime Stoppers reward of up to $5,000 is available in each case. Investigators discussed how most accidents involving pedestrians this month involve drivers who fled the scene, a felony crime.

Pedestrians are reminded:

  • Do not walk across the street unless you are at a crosswalk.
  • Take the extra minute or two to walk to a crosswalk.
  • Obey traffic signals of Walk / Don’t Walk.
  • Look before you step.
  • Do not assume vehicles will stop.  Make eye contact with a driver; don’t just look at a vehicle.
  • Dress to be seen. Wear light colored clothing if walking at night and carry a flashlight, if possible.
  • Do not wear headphones or talk on a cell phone while walking across the street.
  • Be careful in construction zones.

Motorists are reminded to:

  • Be cautious, alert and aware of your surroundings.
  • Avoid distractions (like talking and texting on cell phones).
  • Always be on the lookout for pedestrians and bicyclists.
  • Stop and render aid if you strike a pedestrian or vehicle.
  • Stop and render aid even if you do not have a driver’s license or insurance.  In most instances, those are Class C misdemeanor citations issued as opposed to felony charges for fleeing the scene.

Anyone with information in any hit-and-run crash in the city limits is urged to contact the HPD Hit and Run Unit at 713-247-4065 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS, where tips remain anonymous.
