Paul Anthony Luna, 39, was shot and killed on November 1, 2020, while attending a Halloween party in Lubbock, Texas. The shooting followed an argument between Luna and a friend of Joshua Angel Rosales; a physical altercation broke out and Rosales reportedly walked up to Luna and shot him multiple times, then returned to shoot him again as bystanders tried to render aid.

Rosales, 31, fled the scene and was later arrested in San Antonio in January 2021 and charged with murder. The Lubbock County grand jury indicted him; a continuing violence against family charge was dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Reports say the motive remains unknown.

Luna worked in the oil industry as a driller and was a father of four sons and two daughters. His mother, Rosa Parsons, described him as a devoted parent who worked long hours to provide for his children. The family’s grief has been profound since his death.

Did anyone at that party or who knew Paul notice tensions that night or have information that might explain why the argument escalated?
