John Horton, 61, of Dallas, Texas, was killed on May 12, 2016, during a home invasion robbery at his residence in the 3900 block of South Ledbetter Road in Mountain Creek. Two men armed with shotguns entered the home while Horton was distracted by a former coworker, 21-year-old Jayona Jones, who investigators say conspired with the group to use her connection to Horton as a distraction.

An exchange of gunfire occurred; Horton was fatally shot. A witness intervened and killed Raul Sanchez. Marino Sanchez was wounded and later arrested. Pedro Alarcon, implicated in planning the crime, was also arrested along with Jones. The surviving suspects were charged with capital murder and faced life in prison without parole if convicted.

Horton’s colleagues remembered him as kind and helpful. Does anyone have information about Horton, the scene that night, or the people involved that could shed more light on what happened?
