Victor Carbajal was 16 years old when a driver hit and killed him outside of his family's rural Waller County ranch. Carbajal would have graduated this year with his class, so to honor him, the school placed a framed picture of him on a chair amongst his classmates.

DPS troopers said 31-year-old Daniel Griffin of Brookshire was driving a 2000 Chrysler Voyager when he hit Victor and then drove off near the intersection of Buller and Zadelsky Roads.
Victor played the trombone in the Royal High School Band. He loved his life and his family.
