The murders happened at the southwest freeway location which was on a little strip of land between the freeway and Westpark near Fountain View. People refer to this part of the freeway as the "westpark curve".

The address is 6115 southwest freeway if you want to look it up on google maps.

The property is now a vacant lot with a Shell station next door where illegals hang out waiting for work.

I remember the place well. I used to hang out there a lot. It stayed open after the murders. I remember going in there after the murders and feeling kind of erie.

Added:
I looked it up on HCAD.
The vacant property is now owed by a church.

• Houston, Texas once had two Malibu Grand Prix locations. The Southwest Freeway location was shuttered in the early 1990's (the original building remains; the race track was demolished). This location was the site of the (locally) infamous Malibu Grand Prix murders. The murders were committed on July 1, 1983, during the course of a robbery. Four employees who had just closed up and were in the process of conducting post-closing housekeeping duties were killed. A recently-terminated employee gained entry to the building under the pretext of picking up his last paycheck, and brought two accomplices with him. All were convicted (two received the death penalty, and one was sentenced to life imprisonment).
  
  The other location was off the Katy Freeway and the northwest corner of the West Loop 610 at Old Katy Road (the Old Katy location was the remaining Malibu Grand Prix location until it was boarded up in early-2005).
