HOUSTON – A man who was heading to work Tuesday was shot and killed at a southwest Houston apartment complex.

The shooting was reported about 5:15 p.m. at the Bristol Court Apartments in the 8400 block of South Course Drive.

Houston police said it appears Ramone Alviso Esquivel was carrying some tools with him while he was walking out to his truck. Esquivel, 56, was being followed by his son, who told investigators he saw a young man approach his father just before the shooting, police said.

“The suspect confronted the complainant as he was exiting the apartment complex,” Houston police Detective Brian Evans said. “A verbal demand was made, and there was a physical; a brief physical altercation, and then the complainant was shot.”

Police said they believe the demand may have been for the tools Esquivel was carrying.

On Wednesday, police released video and a sketch of the man investigators said is believed to be responsible for the shooting.

The man was described as black, in his late teens, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with a skinny build and black hair with light-red highlights.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
