Jose Hernandez was a 12-year-old boy from Big Spring, Texas, who died on May 12, 2017, after being struck by fragments from an accidentally discharged firearm. He had been with a group that earlier had stolen items, including 28 guns, from a house south of San Angelo. The stolen weapons were taken back into Howard County, where the group picked up Jose and drove to a house north of Big Spring. While unloading the guns, one discharged; bullet fragments punctured Jose’s lung and heart, and he died after being taken to the hospital.

Investigators arrested four people in connection with the incident: Christopher Yanez, 24; Cindy Machado Lopez, 20; Cody Alan Wingo, 28; and Kimberly Kay Carson, 31. Carson was apprehended later in Tulsa, Oklahoma, faced additional firearms-smuggling allegations, pleaded guilty to felony firearms smuggling, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The other three were held in jail and were awaiting trial on charges tied to the robbery and the shooting.

What information can anyone provide about Jose’s movements that day or about the stolen firearms before they reached Howard County?
