On the morning of Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 29-year-old Francisco Anton Medrano Campos was leaving his apartment in the 2300 block of Glenmont Circle in Wheaton, Maryland, to go to work when he was fatally shot. Montgomery County officers arrived at about 7:07 a.m. and found Medrano Campos with gunshot wounds; lifesaving efforts failed and he died at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing two men flee immediately after the shooting.

Montgomery County Police Major Crimes investigators identified and arrested five suspects: Carlos Andres Orellana, 21; Daniel E. Huezo Landaverde, 19; Oscar Effrain Zavala-Urrea, 19; Romeo Almengor Oxlaj-Lopez, 20; and Victor Alfonso Cruz-Orellana, 21. Each was charged with one count of first-degree murder and held without bond. Authorities described the motive as retaliatory, saying Medrano Campos had previously been roommates with Orellana and that an earlier dispute over alleged theft culminated in Orellana being beaten with a pipe; police say the shooting was revenge for that incident. Investigators reported Medrano Campos had no known gang ties; four of the five suspects were identified as being in the country illegally.
