HPD is asking for info about the deaths of two 20-year-old men who were found in separate bodies of water. Investigators believe the cases are connected and that both men may have died around the same time.
Carlos Tzep Ajpop was found at 1001 West Loop South around 6:05 PM on Sept. 29. An autopsy determined he had a gunshot wound.
Oliver Ortiz was found near 7300 Clinton Dr around 9:45 AM on Oct. 2. Investigators determined he also had a gunshot wound.
Both men were last seen together at 8701 Town Park (SW Houston) on Sept. 27. Investigators believe they left in separate vehicles but were traveling together before they were reported missing. They may have attended local car meet-ups.
Both vehicles were later found near the 10500 block of Keegan Rd. Both men had visible injuries, and investigators are working to determine what happened.
Anyone with information about either man, their vehicles, or anything seen at these locations is asked to contact HPD’s Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
