Juan Carlos Cruz, a 15-year-old Hispanic male, was fatally shot in Austin, Texas, on the evening of Sunday, April 25, 2021. A 911 call just before 5:30 p.m. reported a shooting in the parking lot of a mobile home park in the 8100 block of Research Boulevard near U.S. 183. Austin-Travis County EMS performed life-saving measures but Cruz was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said they saw Juan approach a red SUV before he collapsed and the vehicle sped away. Investigators found that multiple bullets struck a nearby residence; the homeowner said his daughter, who was dating the eventual suspect, was not at home. Detectives used surveillance footage and witness statements to identify 18-year-old Gregorio Vences-Benitez as a suspect. He was arrested two days after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder, but a jury found him not guilty in September 2022, and the death remains unsolved as of that time.

Are there any readers who were in that area that evening or who recognize the red SUV or other details that could help move this investigation forward?
