Marisela Mendoza, 23, was killed on the evening of April 30, 2022, in Amarillo, Texas. According to accounts, she had traveled from out of town to meet her boyfriend, 30-year-old Mario Alberto Rodriquez of Oklahoma, in the parking lot of a Texas Roadhouse on Interstate 40 West. Surveillance video recorded Rodriquez arguing with Mendoza while she sat in the passenger seat of a Toyota Avalon; the footage reportedly shows him striking her and then pulling out a gun and firing into the car.

Officers found Mendoza on the ground outside the passenger side; she had been shot multiple times in her right side and back and was taken to a hospital, where she died of her injuries. Rodriquez fled the scene in a gray Dodge Charger, and an AMBER Alert was issued for two girls, ages five and eight, believed to have been with him. The alert was later canceled after the children were located safe and placed with relatives and Rodriquez was arrested in Hereford, Texas; he was charged with murder and indicted by a Potter County grand jury.

Are there readers who saw the parking lot that night or have any information about the incident or those involved?
