Martin Noguez, a 41-year-old Hispanic vendor known to employees and customers, was fatally shot on December 30, 2022, at an Exxon convenience store at Royal Lane and I-35E in Northwest Dallas. The shooting occurred just after midnight when an 18-year-old, identified as Kauren Mayo, attempted to rob the store. Both Noguez and a store clerk were shot; Noguez died of his wounds and the clerk survived but remained in critical condition.

Dallas police say surveillance footage placed Mayo at the scene and he was arrested and charged with murder. Noguez’s family described him as loving and joyful; he was the household breadwinner and his death has left his wife and children with financial hardship. A GoFundMe was created to help cover funeral costs, a makeshift memorial was placed at the station, and the community has offered support. The shooting drew attention to crime levels in Dallas City Council District 6.

Does anyone have information about Martin’s work as a vendor at that Exxon or witnessed the events that night?
