Abigail Manriquez, 26, was shot dead on May 19, 2020, at a residence on Belgrade Avenue in Dallas. Police were called about a shooting at around 8:07 p.m.; officers found Manriquez with a fatal gunshot wound and another adult male also shot and later treated at a hospital. Four children and two adults were inside the home and were rescued during the response.

Police arrested 27-year-old Christian Morales after a 30-minute standoff. He admitted to a prior intimate dating relationship with Manriquez and, according to reports, confessed to shooting both victims. Morales was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault and had bond set at $500,000.

The presence of children during the incident and the confession after the standoff were key elements reported in the case. Does anyone have information about Abigail’s life in Dallas or knew her connections in that neighborhood?
