Alonso Gonzalez-De Hoyos, 25, of Laredo, Texas, was shot and killed on March 4, 2022. He was found dead inside his blue Dodge Durango after the vehicle had crashed into a fixture near the Sonic Drive‑Thru on South U.S. 83. According to an affidavit, the shooter was identified as 23‑year‑old Victor Eleazar Paz, described as the current boyfriend of Gonzalez‑De Hoyos’s ex‑wife.

Paz reportedly called police to turn himself in and told officers he shot Gonzalez‑De Hoyos after an on‑road confrontation. He said Gonzalez‑De Hoyos brake‑checked him and made a motion with his arm, which Paz said prompted him to fire. Investigators recovered a black handgun with a gold and silver handle on the driver’s side floorboard of the Durango. Paz was taken into custody and charged with murder.

Gonzalez‑De Hoyos is survived by his parents, siblings, and children. Does anyone who knew Alonso or who was in the area that night have information that could shed more light on what led up to the shooting?
