Raul Rulis Elijah Raygoza was 16 when he was shot and killed on November 11, 2021, at Shawver Park in El Paso, Texas. He was in a parked car with 18-year-old Steven Lopez, who was also killed, and a 14-year-old girl who was wounded and taken to a hospital. Authorities have not released a motive, and no arrests have been announced.

Family and community members remembered Raul as generous, funny, and devoted to his parents and three sisters. He enjoyed sports, video games, fishing, riding quads, and family trips, and had dreamed of owning a barbershop. His funeral was held at The Door Christian Center in the Lower Valley, and the family established a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs.

The investigation into Raul’s death remains open and unresolved. If anyone knew Raul, was at Shawver Park on November 11, 2021, or has information that could help, please come forward.
