2024-04-04
[NYPOST] The son of a prominent Dominican politician was shot and killed at a Houston gas station Monday, and three suspects are being sought, police said.

The Houston Police Department identified the victim as Luis Alfredo Pacheco Rojas, 34, the son of Alfredo Pacheco, the president of the Chamber of Deputies of the Dominican Republic, the country’s lower chamber of congress.
Daddy, don't let your babies grow up to be illegal migrants…
“We have spoken with Mr. Pacheco about his son’s death and advised him detectives continue efforts to determine possible motives for the shooting,” an HPD statement said.

Rojas worked in the music industry in Houston and went by the name “El Pikante,” according to reports.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Dominican Republic’s embassy for comment.

Rojas, a 29-year-old victim, and two other men were leaving a gas station in the 2400 block of South Wayside Drive about 7:25 p.m. and got into a black SUV.

At the same time, a Dodge Charger and a Mercedes-Benz approached the SUV.

Two males got out of the Dodger and one exited the Mercedes.

All three open fired on the SUV and fled the scene, police said.
