Man wanted for questioning in connection to 13-year-old’s June death outside Cortland Med Center

Authorities are searching for a man wanted for questioning in connection to the June 16 shooting that killed a 13-year-old boy in southwest Houston.

The Houston Police Department said officers are searching for 20-year-old Ricardo Alejandro Hernandez, who is not charged, and believe he might have information to provide to detectives.

The 13-year-old, Quinton Higgins, and his 18-year-old brother were gunned down in the parking lot of their home at the Cortland Med Center apartment complex.

HPD said the two brothers were walking across the parking lot at the complex in the 9100 block of Lakes at 610 Drive around 8:40 p.m.

Their mother spoke with ABC13 on how difficult the last few months have been for the family.

“I was in shock. I had literally just seen him. I had seen him like at 7:55 and 8:40 p.m. My son was pronounced dead,” the mom said.
