Erik Aragon, 22, of El Paso was found shot in a business parking lot in Horizon City on November 4, 2017 and died later at a hospital. The shooting occurred during a drug transaction that investigators say went wrong.

Three men were arrested in connection with the killing: Miguel Angel Ontiveros, 22; Shawn Ezal Ramirez, 21; and Marcos Damian Porras, 23. Court documents state the three planned to sell a brick of marijuana to Aragon. According to those documents, Ramirez produced a handgun, demanded Aragon empty his pockets, then shot him while the others fled.

Any readers who knew Erik or who have information about the case are asked to come forward with what they know.
