February 27, 2024 - Charges have been filed against two suspects arrested in the fatal shooting of one man and wounding of two others at 645 East 11th 1/2 Street about 8:05 p.m. on November 26, 2022.  

The suspects, Matthew Berlanga, 19, and Jeremiah Mireles, 21, are charged with murder in the 488th and 230th State District Courts, respectively. The suspects' booking photos are attached to this news release.

The deceased victim is identified as Isaac de Los Santos, 17.

The two other victims, 19 and 38, survived their injuries.

HPD Homicide Division Detectives M. Providence and A. Ledford reported:

Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at the apartment complex parking lot at the above address and found a male unresponsive with several apparent gunshot wounds.  Paramedics pronounced the man deceased at the scene.  Two other male victims were also found with gunshot wounds.  They were transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

At that time, there was no known suspect(s) or motive in the shooting.

Further investigation identified Berlanga and Mireles as suspects in this case and they were subsequently charged. 

Mireles was taken into custody in March 2023 by officers from the HPD Central Patrol Crime Suppression Team without incident. 

On Monday (February 26), Berlanga turned himself in to police and was booked into the Harris County Jail.
