Welton Betts, 44, of Cedar Hill, Texas, was shot and killed on September 25, 2016, at a Texaco gas station in Cedar Hill. He had been returning home from a Dallas Cowboys game when a gunman shot him without provocation; his wife, Gail, witnessed the killing. A grainy surveillance video captured the last few seconds of Betts’ life.

Authorities identified the suspect as Juan Navarro Rios, also known by aliases including Silvestre Franco-Luviano and Guillermo Luviano-Franco. Investigators connected Rios to a wider crime spree that night that included multiple shootings, a carjacking, a home invasion and possibly a kidnapping, and to the earlier fatal shooting of 33-year-old Ruben Moreno in Dallas. Rios was later arrested after a standoff in Georgetown, Texas, and extradited to Dallas County on a murder charge. Betts’ family describe him as a loving husband, father and brother and say they wish Rios had known him.

Does anyone have information about Betts, his movements that night, or the events at the Texaco station that could help clarify what happened?
