Gabriel Lee Salazar, 32, of Lubbock, Texas, was found dead in the parking lot of the Carriage House Inn and Suites in southeast Lubbock on January 7, 2017. Family and friends described his death as a devastating loss.

Investigators say Gabriel had been at the home of Geneva Monique Leal, where he got into a confrontation with several people. Court documents state Reynaldo Jacob Enriquez shot and stabbed Gabriel while he slept on a couch. Leal and others, including Jake Johnson and Dimitrise Lyghts, allegedly took turns beating Gabriel with a baseball bat. He was then taken to the parking lot and left for dead.

Multiple arrests and prosecutions followed: Enriquez received a 25-year prison sentence for his role; Jake Johnson pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and was given 10 years; Geneva Leal accepted a plea deal on tampering with evidence and was sentenced to 20 years. Dimitrise Lyghts was later sentenced to prison in an unrelated federal case for sex trafficking of a minor. Does anyone have information about Gabriel’s time in Lubbock or what led him to Leal’s residence that night?
