Luis Eddie Cosme, 48, was shot and killed on October 30, 2019, in Killeen, Texas after intervening in a domestic disturbance involving his ex-wife, Estela Cosme, and her then-boyfriend, Bryan Jamal Dunn. The incident took place on the 2100 block of Reese Creek Road; Luis was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:33 p.m. by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke.
After the shooting, Dunn forced Estela Cosme into his vehicle and fled, later releasing her in Round Rock. Dunn was arrested, charged with murder, arraigned with bond set at $1,000,000, and held in the Bell County Jail. The trial resulted in a guilty verdict for capital murder and a sentence of life imprisonment without parole; the defense had urged a manslaughter conviction instead.
Luis is remembered by his parents Samuel and Minerva Cosme, his children Luis Cosme Jr., Kevin Cosme, Emilio Cosme, Ashley Pelinghelli, and Caterina Cosme, his siblings and his grandchildren. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Luis and can share what he meant to the community?
