Jacob Isaiah Vidaurri, known as Gibby, was a 20-year-old from Grand Prairie, Texas who was shot dead on October 16, 2016. According to reports, the shooting took place after a heated argument at a party where Vidaurri and his friend Zachary Rico were playing beer pong. Witnesses said Rico became enraged after losing multiple games, the dispute escalated, and Rico shot Vidaurri in the head; Vidaurri died at the scene.

Rico, then 19, was arrested and held at the Grand Prairie Detention Facility and later charged in the killing. Court records indicate Rico was convicted of first-degree murder and received life without parole; sentencing occurred on his 21st birthday. The case drew attention because the killing followed a trivial disagreement among friends and left Vidaurri’s family and friends mourning and working to honor his memory.

If anyone at the party or who knew Jacob or Zachary has information that hasn’t been shared, please come forward.
