Fernando Mendoza Jr., a 34-year-old Hispanic man from Fort Worth, Texas, was shot and killed on February 3, 2020, in a neighborhood off Roosevelt Avenue. He is described as leaving behind parents, siblings, and children; his family remembered him for a kind spirit and a contagious smile.

Rios reportedly got out of the vehicle and fired a round into Mendoza’s face, killing him. Mayra Guerra, a passenger in Rios’ vehicle, witnessed the incident and cooperated with police; she was later found dead in Mexico and there is evidence alleging Rios killed her to prevent her testimony. Rios was charged with murder, took a plea deal, and received a 15-year prison sentence.
