Carlos Aparicio, a 57-year-old Hispanic man, was found unconscious in his warehouse in the 200 block of Gilbert Circle in Grand Prairie, Texas, on July 4, 2018, after being shot. He was taken by emergency crews to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Irving and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Aparicio owned a road construction company that operated from the warehouse.

Investigators determined that 56-year-old Jimmie Reynolds, who had worked for Aparicio off and on for several years, was involved in an argument with Aparicio on July 4 that culminated in Aparicio being shot. Reynolds left the area and traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was located with the assistance of the United States Marshals Service, turned himself in to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, and was arrested. Reynolds was held without bond pending extradition back to Texas and was returned to the Lew Sterrett Justice Center to face murder charges.

Anyone who knew Carlos Aparicio, worked with him, or has information about the events at the Gilbert Circle warehouse on July 4, 2018, is asked to come forward with tips.
