Colony Ridge Part 2: Exploring the area where two Santa Fe M.S. students were found fatally shot

(TEXAS) - A second drive through Colony Ridge, specifically the Santa Fe subdivision near County Road 5260 and 5200, offers additional insight into the area following allegations of gang and cartel activity. This re-visit to the area was prompted by a comment from a reader regarding the fatal shooting of two teenagers, 15-year-old Cesar Christopher Trochez-Maravilla and 14-year-old Adiel Garcia Aguirre, who were found fatally shot in a car near mailboxes in the Santa Fe subdivision back in April 2023. I started at this location based on reports from local news stations. It should be noted that there is no clear signage indicating this area as part of Colony Ridge but according to our reader, this is part of Colony Ridge. https://youtu.be/a8-AEvEuT8o During the drive, group mailboxe...

Claims about Colony Ridge being filled with cartels and gangs contrast with suburban reality in new video

CLEVELAND, TX – A new video taken on Monday, January 27, 2025, offers a firsthand look at Colony Ridge, a large residential development located in Cleveland, near Liberty County. The footage, captured during my drive through the Terrenos Houston area of Colony Ridge, which is near FM 3549 and Highway 99, reveals a quiet, suburban neighborhood that contrasts sharply with claims suggesting it is a hub for cartels and gang activity. In the video, which showcases my drive through the Terrenos area, I observed clean streets, rows of houses, and families going about their day. There were no visible signs of cartel or gang presence. However, I did notice quite a few dogs roaming freely in the area but areas around Houston have the same problem. You can view the video of my drive in its entiret...
