Leonardo Vazquez-Barcenas, a 57-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on April 18, 2018, in Dallas after he went outside his brother’s home to investigate an attempted robbery. During a struggle, a juvenile engaged in the robbery fired one shot that struck and killed Vazquez-Barcenas.

Investigators traced the firearm used in the shooting to a straw purchase arranged two days earlier. Sisters Demoushae and Tashonna Marsh bought two 9-millimeter Glock pistols from Academy Sports + Outdoors on April 16, 2018, and listed themselves as the buyers despite knowing the guns were for someone else. One of those pistols was the weapon used in the robbery and fatal shooting.

The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office is handling the homicide, while the straw-purchase matter was pursued federally through Project Safe Neighborhoods with the ATF and Dallas Police Department involved. No conviction is established by the indictment alone. Does anyone have information about the April 2018 robbery or the people involved?
