Ramon Lemus Zapata, a 46-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on October 13, 2022, during a violent home invasion at his apartment on Heritage Circle in Dallas. Court documents say four masked, gloved suspects forced entry and demanded belongings from Zapata’s wife. Three suspects left the apartment; when Zapata, armed with a BB gun, confronted the remaining intruder, that suspect shot and killed him.

Investigators tied the break-in to a robbery plot aimed at valuables and apparently targeted because of a connection to Zapata’s son. Ring doorbell video captured the suspects. Authorities arrested Antoni Jose Arias, 20, and Manuel Alexander Ramos, 19, on capital murder charges; Ramos was arrested days after the slaying and a gun and magazine were recovered from his car. An 18-year-old, Joey Fraire, was killed in a shootout with Dallas police while they served a capital murder warrant. Farmers Branch police are seeking Tristan Calvillo, who is wanted for capital murder.

Anyone with information about Calvillo or the October 13 invasion is asked to contact investigators to help bring closure to the family.
