Onesimo Abrego, a 44-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot at about 12:22 a.m. on December 26, 2016, at a Valero gas station in the 4700 block of South Central Expressway in Dallas. He was with his wife and child when a physical altercation broke out between him and another man; the other man shot Onesimo. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds. The shooter fled before police arrived and no arrests have been made; the Dallas Police Department’s investigation remains open.

In the weeks after the shooting the Murray Law Firm raised concerns about the station’s security, pointing to lighting, patrols, and camera coverage as factors that could deter crime and noting the possibility of civil claims if security was inadequate. Onesimo’s family is grieving and may pursue legal action. Anyone with information about the shooting or the shooter is asked to contact investigators.
