Jose Gonzalez, 32, was shot and killed on June 26, 2019, in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. He and his cousin were waiting in Gonzalez’s truck to meet someone when three unknown men approached, demanded belongings, and opened fire after Gonzalez refused and tried to drive away. Gonzalez was struck multiple times and died despite attempts to escape; his cousin was in the passenger seat and witnessed the attack.

Dallas Police Homicide Detective Patty Belew is handling the investigation. Surveillance video shows a dark-colored SUV carrying three Black males entering the apartment complex and approaching Gonzalez’s truck; the footage is described as dark and unclear but yielded leads. Investigators believe the assailants were familiar with the area and that robbery was a likely factor; the motive remains unclear and the case is unsolved.

Anyone who was at the Oak Cliff complex on June 26, 2019, or who recognizes the SUV or the men seen on surveillance is asked to contact the Dallas Police with information.
