Jonah Rivera, a 38-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot during a home invasion in Sabine Pass, Texas, on January 26, 2018. Several masked people forced their way into his home in the early morning; Rivera confronted them and was shot in the mouth. He was taken to a Beaumont hospital but died of his injuries.

Raul Aguilar Trejo, 39, of Port Arthur, was arrested and later indicted on a first-degree murder charge and accused of firing the fatal shot. He was also charged with felony forgery for allegedly trying to cash a stolen check five days after the killing. In October 2019 the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office dropped the murder charge against Trejo, citing insufficient evidence; he remained in custody on the forgery charge.

The motive and full sequence of events during the invasion remain unclear from available details. Does anyone have information about the night of January 26, 2018, or about Rivera’s life and connections in Sabine Pass?
