Steven Colón, a 39-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, was shot multiple times and killed on June 5, 2022, while working on cars next to his father’s house. An argument escalated into the fatal shooting; Colón’s family described him as a loving, hardworking man who helped others and left behind his wife Priscilla and their three daughters.

A 19-year-old, identified as Darius Johnson and known as D5, turned himself in to authorities in Marlin, Texas, after a warrant was issued. At trial prosecutors presented testimony that Johnson told a friend he wanted a body for his birthday, the day of the shooting. Colón’s father testified about finding his son on the ground and the emotional trauma that followed. Johnson was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
