Crime Stoppers of Houston and the Houston Police Department’s Vehicular Crimes Division are asking for the public’s help identifying the driver responsible for a fatal hit-and-run that claimed the life of Alejandro Santos.

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, at approximately 5:54 a.m., Alejandro Santos was walking along the 7900 block of the Katy Freeway service road in Houston, Texas, when he was struck by an unidentified vehicle traveling eastbound.
