David Lopez, 19, of Bryan, Texas, was found dead from a gunshot wound inside a residence on the 2200 block of Cavitt Avenue on November 30, 2022. The Bryan Police Department ruled his death a homicide and opened an investigation after someone who knew him located him in the home.

Police say two men, identified as 23-year-old Preston Thurmon and 21-year-old Armando Mejia, were arrested on January 13, 2023, in connection with the shooting. Authorities allege Thurmon and Mejia went to Lopez’s home intending to rob him of money and marijuana; an exchange of gunfire followed that left Lopez dead and Mejia injured. Lopez’s 18-year-old brother was present, fired a gun during the incident, then hid in a bathtub.

The suspects are being held on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and the investigation remains active. If anyone knew David, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the events on Cavitt Avenue, please come forward.
