Edward Magana was 57 when he was shot dead on July 16, 2018, while working at the Mattress One store on North Freeway in Houston.

Magana immigrated from El Salvador decades earlier and raised four children in Houston. He had been working at Mattress One for about six months and had recently started at the North Freeway location. Family members describe him as a free spirit and a natural-born salesman; they have been seeking justice and have created a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.

Rodriguez was reportedly captured the next day after a 14-minute chase in the stolen vehicle and was charged with capital murder in the deaths of Magana and two others.
