Mario Rodriguez, a 27-year-old Hispanic man, was shot multiple times in the parking lot of a Texas Roadhouse in Jacksonville, Texas, on October 9, 2016. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries. Reports indicate the shooting followed an altercation there.

Authorities identified a 30-year-old man, also named Mario Rodriguez, as the suspect. Investigators say the suspect and the victim were in a relationship and had traveled separately to Amarillo before the confrontation. The suspect fled the scene in a gray car; an AMBER Alert was issued because two young girls were believed to be with him, but the children were later found safe with family. A murder warrant was issued and the suspect was located and taken into custody in Hereford, Texas.

The case has drawn attention from the community and the Amarillo Police Homicide Unit; the suspect has been charged with murder and court hearings and witness testimony have followed. The motive for the argument and shooting has not been fully disclosed. Does anyone have information about the day or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
