Honoring the Life of Ricardo “Ricky” Resendez

Ricardo “Ricky” Resendez, a beloved 28-year-old, tragically lost his life in a devastating crash involving an off-duty constable deputy who was driving into oncoming traffic, according to the Houston Police Department.

A Vigil of Love and Justice

In an emotional gathering where Ricky grew up, his family and friends came together to honor his memory and demand justice for his untimely death. They held a touching vigil at the Navigation Esplanade, sharing prayers, memories, and lighting candles in Ricky’s honor.

Seeking Justice

The family expressed their pain and grief, urging the district attorney to bring charges against the former Harris County Precinct 6 constable deputy, Rigo Viviar, who was responsible for Ricky’s death.
