Francisco Joel Reyes, a 31-year-old Hispanic overnight supervisor, was killed on August 20, 2018, in a workplace shooting at the Ben E. Keith Foods distribution center in Missouri City, Texas. Another employee, Fedencio Janas, was wounded. The shooter, Kristine Peralez, was killed during a confrontation with police outside the building.

Reyes had been honored as Employee of the Year multiple times and left a wife, Michele Peña, and three young children. The family later filed a $25 million lawsuit alleging the company failed to provide adequate security; the suit asserts security guards had been hired a month earlier but none were on duty the morning of the shooting. Investigators reported a video Peralez posted to Facebook before the attack, but say the motive remains unclear and no specific threats against coworkers were found.
