Richard Madrigal, 33, was shot dead at his Terrace Hill Apartments home on Westcity Court in West El Paso on June 11, 2016. Known as Rick Mardi Gras from his time as a DJ at KLAQ, he was working as a sales manager for Destination El Paso and was due to graduate from the University of Texas at El Paso later in 2016; his degree was presented to his family after his death.

Investigators concluded jealousy over a woman was the suspected motive. Leonel Hernandez, 31, was identified as the primary suspect; he was taken into custody and admitted to the shooting. A witness, Marinda Palacios, 33, reportedly saw the murder but did not report it and was charged with failure to report a felony; she later testified at Hernandez’s trial as part of an agreement that resulted in dismissal and expungement of that charge. Family and friends described Madrigal as a loving father and dedicated professional; his former fiancée Joanne Rodriguez and their seven-year-old daughter were among those affected.

Does anyone in El Paso remember Richard’s work at KLAQ or his community activities and have information that could add detail to the case?
