Cutberto Moran-Ayala, a 26-year-old man from Austin, Texas, was killed on June 8, 2017 during a meeting arranged to sell marijuana that he had advertised online. The meeting took place in a parking lot when three men from Chicago—Savon Galloway, 22; Christopher Hamilton, 19; and Akeem Bradford, 22—approached. According to reports, Galloway came to the vehicle with a handgun and fired; Moran-Ayala reportedly wrestled the gun away and fired back before he was shot multiple times. A friend drove him home and called police, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

All three men were charged with capital murder. Galloway and Hamilton were taken into custody by law enforcement teams, and Bradford was arrested as well; a fourth man, Keon Walton, 19, was arrested on unrelated charges. Hamilton and Galloway later received 20-year prison sentences, and Bradford testified against his co-defendants. Moran-Ayala’s family described him as a loving father; his girlfriend discovered she was pregnant with his second child shortly after his death.

Are there details about the parking lot meeting or the timeline of events that anyone can help clarify?
