Dorian Osiri Rivera, 30, also known as Albaro Arnulfo Santos Menedez, was fatally shot on November 13, 2018, at the WoodSpring Suites hotel on Interstate 35 just south of Braker Lane in Austin, Texas. He was found in the afternoon with an apparent gunshot wound and later pronounced dead at Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas.

Police charged 24-year-old William Morataya with murder. According to reports, Morataya shot Rivera outside Rivera’s motel room. Surveillance video reportedly shows Rivera running away while clutching his side and Morataya leaving the motel wearing a hoodie and carrying a floral backpack taken from Rivera’s room. The backpack was said to contain needles used for methamphetamine and a .357 magnum with one spent shell and one live round in the chamber.

A woman who rented the room for Rivera told police he had shown her thousands of dollars in cash a few days earlier and had worried about being robbed; she said this prompted Rivera to acquire the .357 magnum. After the shooting, Rivera reportedly had only $7 on him. Bond for Morataya was set at $1 million. Does anyone have information about Rivera’s movements at the motel that afternoon or saw the backpack after the shooting?
