Jesse Avila Jr., a 26-year-old Hispanic man, was found inside a vehicle at the Estara Apartments in Dallas, Texas, in the early hours of August 14, 2021, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to a hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The investigation identified 27-year-old Alex Castillo as the suspect; Castillo was arrested, charged with murder, and taken to the Dallas County jail. Authorities said Castillo and Avila knew one another, but no motive was disclosed. The Dallas Police Department continued to investigate and gathered evidence as the case moved into court.

Jesse’s family and friends remembered him as kind and loving, and the community offered support after his death. Does anyone have information about Jesse’s last known movements or about what happened at the Estara Apartments that night?
