The deadly shooting happened on Sunday, Nov. 29 around 10:20 p.m.
Investigators say it may have started on I-45 and eventually ended up on 610 where one of the suspects fired shots at Mendoza.
Mendoza was driving a Dodge Charger when he was shot. He was sent to the hospital, but died due to his injuries.
