Jesus Javier Sanchez, a 36-year-old Hispanic man from McAllen, Texas, died on December 20, 2022 from gunshot injuries sustained at a residence on the 1900 block of Oakland Avenue. He was found unresponsive and bleeding by Marlene Natalia Rodriguez, who reported hearing gunshots and seeing a white vehicle leave the scene.

Two men were arrested and later indicted on murder charges: 35-year-old Jayson Martinez Gonzalez of McAllen and 46-year-old Reinaldo Rafael Sanchez Jr. of Edinburg. Gonzalez has been accused of shooting Jesus multiple times but has claimed he disguised himself with makeup and a wig and that Reinaldo fired the shots; Reinaldo faces charges as an accomplice. Surveillance footage from the area was used to identify the suspects and the investigation remains active.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the white vehicle seen leaving the scene is asked to come forward.
