Hector Raisel De Leon, a 48-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on December 8, 2019, in Edinburg, Texas. During the altercation Karla gained possession of a revolver and fatally shot Hector; he was pronounced dead at the scene and she was taken into custody.

Karla Marlen De Leon, 47 at the time, was arraigned on murder charges and initially pleaded not guilty. The trial examined the couple’s troubled relationship and the events that led to the shooting; the court found that Hector was not posing an immediate threat when he was shot. Questions remain about the lead-up to the confrontation and what witnesses or evidence established about who had control of the weapon that night.

If anyone knew Hector or Karla, or has information about their relationship or the incident, can you share what you know?
