Raymond Huerta, a 26-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on January 11, 2018, at the Save A Lot grocery store on James Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. He had gone to the store to bring dinner to his wife, Jackie Huerta, who worked there. Two men entered the store intending to rob the clerks at gunpoint and to empty the safe; during the robbery Raymond was shot multiple times and died. Jackie witnessed the shooting and tried to defend her husband, and was beaten by one of the men, identified in court as 26-year-old Marquis Sypho, before the safe was emptied.

Surveillance footage later showed the suspects and others celebrating that night. Fort Worth police identified and arrested those involved. At trial prosecutors described Sypho’s actions as deliberate; a jury found him guilty of capital murder and he was automatically sentenced to life in prison without parole by Judge Chris Wolfe. The prosecution emphasized the senselessness of the killing and the effect on the Huerta family, and Jackie Huerta testified about her husband’s actions in his final moments.

If anyone knew Raymond or has information about the events surrounding that night, please share what you know.
