Paulo Young, 34, was shot and killed outside a house party on Villa Plata Drive in El Paso, Texas, on July 31, 2021. The shooting happened around 4 a.m. after an argument outside the home; witnesses say Young became involved in a heated altercation near a silver Mercedes and challenged a man to shoot him. The man identified as 20-year-old Brian Alexander Arrington fired two shots, one striking Young in the chest. Paramedics took Young to Del Sol Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Following the shooting, Arrington fled in the Mercedes. The vehicle was later linked to 21-year-old Shaheem Elisha Samuel, who was arrested on August 1, 2021, on traffic warrants and admitted knowing Arrington and driving him away. Nineteen-year-old Mauricio Romero was arrested on charges of failing to report a felony. Arrington was charged with murder; Samuel and Romero faced charges related to withholding information.

Young’s family and friends remembered him as caring and big-hearted. If anyone was at the Villa Plata Drive party or saw the silver Mercedes that night, can you share what you know?
