Jose Antonio Acosta Galvan, a 46-year-old Hispanic man, was shot to death on August 10, 2019, while sitting in his truck outside his apartment in Dallas, Texas. He was on a phone call when a man later identified as Kyvontre Elmore approached intending to steal the vehicle. Acosta resisted and was shot multiple times; the attacker then took the truck and it was later found abandoned and set on fire in Dallas.

Investigators used surveillance footage, phone data and witness accounts to trace movements before and after the killing. Video showed the suspect riding a scooter, abandoning the burned truck, then being picked up by a Lyft driver whose information led police to an apartment in McKinney where the suspect was arrested eight days after the murder. Prosecutors introduced surveillance, phone records, social media posts and forensic ballistics tying a recovered gun to the shooting; one Instagram video posted an hour before the killing showed the suspect flashing a gun similar to the murder weapon.

The jury convicted Elmore of capital murder and he received life in prison without parole. Does anyone have additional information about Acosta’s life or was a witness to the events that evening?
