Ruby Gonzalez was an 18-year-old Hispanic woman from Dallas who died after being shot during a gun sale that went wrong. The shooting occurred on October 12, 2021, in a parking lot near Interstate 30 and Cockrell Hill Road; Ruby was critically injured and died on October 16, 2021. Her boyfriend, Juan Carlos Garcia, 19, was shot in the same incident and died at the scene.

Police say Ruby and Juan had arranged to sell guns to two men, identified as Rickey Downs and Tevaris Gibson, who contacted them through an app. The buyers allegedly brought counterfeit money and attempted to steal the firearms; a confrontation led to multiple gunshots. Surveillance footage and fingerprints on the fake money are reported to have linked the suspects to the scene, and Downs and Gibson were arrested and charged with capital murder.

The case raised concerns about the risks of meeting strangers for online transactions. Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to come forward.
