Kristal Pena, 28, was killed during a shooting at Molly’s Irish Pub in Corpus Christi on March 17, 2020. The shooting took place during the bar’s annual St. Patrick’s Day party; Pena was shot in the head and upper body and died at the scene. Her mother, Ana Pena, was also shot and survived after being taken to a local hospital.

A 28-year-old man, Roberto Fuentes, was arrested shortly after the shooting following a short foot pursuit and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The investigation noted the attack was not random; Fuentes had an outstanding warrant for a prior DWI at the time. Police continued interviewing witnesses and searching for the weapon.

Pena is survived by two sons, a daughter, her mother, step-father, sister and brother. Funeral services were held March 25 and 26, 2020, at Saxet Funeral Home in Corpus Christi. Does anyone have information about the events at Molly’s Irish Pub that night or knew Kristal?
