Oseas Jimmy Lozano, 25, of Mesquite, Texas, was shot and killed in the early hours of November 3, 2021. The shooting happened around 1:00 a.m. in the parking lot of the 1700 block of Hillcrest Street after a verbal altercation that escalated into a physical confrontation. Lozano was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

Mesquite Police identified three teenagers from Dallas — Vicente Piedra, Juan Rojas, and Abel Lopez — and arrested them on murder charges. Authorities allege Abel Lopez made disrespectful remarks that provoked a heated exchange, that the situation turned physical, and that Vicente Piedra shot Lozano before fleeing with Juan Rojas. The motive and whether Lozano knew the suspects beforehand remain unclear. The community has held fundraisers and memorials to support Lozano’s family.

Does anyone have information about the night of November 3, 2021, or recall seeing activity in the 1700 block of Hillcrest Street around 1:00 a.m.?
