Cisqo Isaiah Zay Rodriguez was 21 when he was fatally shot on August 7, 2022, in El Paso, Texas. A lifelong El Paso resident born October 3, 2000, he had just graduated from Eastwood High School in June 2022 and worked at AutoZone while pursuing a goal of becoming an auto mechanic. He was known for an outgoing personality, a love of sports, and loyalty to the Dallas Cowboys.

The shooting happened in the early morning after a mansion party in Montana Vista. Cisqo was driving friends back from the gathering when an 18-year-old, Isaac Carlos, was alleged to have fired a handgun out of a car window; a bullet struck Cisqo in the vehicle. Carlos was arrested and charged with manslaughter and held at the El Paso County Jail Annex on a $500,000 bond. Reports include an account that Carlos asked Cisqo, Zay, did I shoot you? after the shooting.

Cisqo’s mother Jessica L. Telles, father Thomas Tew, stepfather Julio Johnson, and siblings have been publicly identified as mourning his loss. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and El Paso Police Department have warned about dangers tied to mansion parties. If anyone knew Cisqo or has information about the events that night, please share what can help his family and investigators.
