Rudy Xavier Limon-Lirra was 14 when he was shot and killed at his family home on Garden View Drive in East Austin, Texas, on April 22, 2022. According to court records and witness statements, Rudy and his mother, 39-year-old Christina Michelle Limon, were returning home with groceries when the shooting occurred. Surveillance footage recorded Christina asking David Ontiveros why he was sitting in the dark, then multiple gunshots and screams.

Law enforcement found Rudy dead at the scene; Christina was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center and later died of her wounds. Ontiveros, Christina’s husband and Rudy’s stepfather, left briefly after the shooting and then called 911. He told investigators Rudy had approached him with a knife, but officers found no knife near the victims. Ontiveros was arrested and later convicted; a jury found him guilty of the murders and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Family members described Rudy and Christina as loving and caring and spoke about the family’s grief.
