Robert A. Rodriguez, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on April 11, 2020, in Lubbock, Texas. He was working in the drive-thru at a Wendy’s when an argument with customer Rene Quintanilla over an order escalated. Quintanilla pulled a gun and shot Rodriguez multiple times in the parking lot. Rodriguez was taken to University Medical Center and was pronounced dead on arrival.

Quintanilla was arrested and charged with murder, but a grand jury later declined to indict after reviewing restaurant video that showed Rodriguez’s sister and Quintanilla’s fiancée involved in a physical altercation and Quintanilla attempting to intervene; the grand jury cited self-defense. Rodriguez’s family filed a civil lawsuit against Quintanilla, Wendy’s and others, alleging negligence and failure to protect employees.

What information or witnesses might help clarify the sequence of events in the parking lot that day?
