Xavier Ramon Hernandez-Hankins, 29, was shot in the head and killed on November 5, 2022, in west Oak Cliff, Dallas. The shooting occurred near the 4300 block of West Illinois Avenue as Hernandez-Hankins was walking north on Cockrell Hill Road after leaving the Player’s Bar, where he had been with a woman. A witness reported a black Chevy Silverado pulled up, a single gunshot was heard, and surveillance video captured a truck pulling up beside him and leaving about one to two minutes later.

Two people, Rubi Esparza, 33, and her husband Basilio Tovar, 50, were initially arrested and charged because they owned a similar black Silverado; they spent several days in jail before being released and later sued the detective responsible for their arrests. Subsequent investigation identified Bernadino Delgado Jr., 47, owner of the Player’s Bar, as the person charged in the homicide; his pickup was identified as the truck used and phone records placed him in the area. Delgado’s record includes prior charges such as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful carrying of a handgun.

What information might help clarify the sequence of events that night or connect other witnesses to the pickup seen on surveillance?
