Carlos Arajeni-Arriaza Morillo, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was shot during an attempted robbery on August 3, 2019, in Grand Prairie, Texas. The shooting occurred around 4:30 p.m. after Morillo and another man, Cristian Lobos, 18, were lured to the 300 block of Northeast 5th Street by two teenagers, Jesse Martinez, 18, and Philip Aguilera Baldenegro, 19. A physical altercation broke out during the robbery; Morillo was shot in the torso, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead. Lobos suffered minor injuries and survived.

Martinez and Baldenegro fled but were later apprehended and charged with aggravated robbery and capital murder. A 16-year-old girl, Zephaniah Trevino, was also charged with capital murder. Trevino’s defense has argued she was a victim of sex trafficking by Baldenegro and was coerced into participating, with claims that she was forced to perform sex acts on the victims. The prosecution sought to try Trevino as an adult.

Are there people who knew Carlos or who were in that neighborhood that afternoon who can shed more light on what happened?
