Ismael Z. Chavez was a 39-year-old Hispanic police officer who was killed on July 11, 2020, in McAllen, Texas. Chavez and fellow Officer Edelmiro Garza Jr. were responding to a domestic disturbance at the 3500 block of Queta Avenue when the suspect, Aldon Jaramillo, 23, opened fire at the front door as the officers approached. Neither officer had time to draw their weapons or call for backup.

Both officers were killed at the scene; the shooting deeply affected the McAllen community and prompted condolences from local leaders, including Governor Greg Abbott and U.S. Representative Vicente Gonzalez. Jaramillo had a prior arrest history for charges including assault, driving while intoxicated, fleeing from officers, and possession of marijuana.

Does anyone have information about that call or the residence on Queta Avenue that could shed light on what led up to the ambush?
