Raul Garcia-Torres, a 50-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on January 3, 2019, in the driveway of his Mesquite, Texas, home on the 2600 block of Larchmont Drive after being confronted by armed robbers as he returned from work. Investigators say two Dallas residents, Brayshun Terrill Jones, 22, and Shatoria Dashun Jefferson, 23, followed Garcia-Torres from his job and attempted to rob him; Garcia-Torres later died at a local hospital.

Authorities linked the suspects to the scene when Garcia-Torres’ credit cards were used after the killing and fraud alerts on his cellphone helped track them. Jones reportedly admitted involvement and identified Jefferson as his getaway driver. Some of Garcia-Torres’ belongings were recovered in Jefferson’s car, and a handgun believed to be the murder weapon was recovered. Both were charged with capital murder and held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center with bond set at $1,000,000 for Jones and $500,000 for Jefferson.

Garcia-Torres was described by family as a devoted husband and grandfather to 15 grandchildren and a hardworking, well-liked man. The precise motive remains unclear, though Jones and Garcia-Torres were believed to work at the same place and were seen leaving together the night of the killing. Who has information that could help bring justice for the Garcia-Torres family?
