Reynaldo Reyes Jr., 21, was fatally shot at an Edinburg, Texas apartment complex shortly after midnight on May 4, 2016. He was taken to Doctors Hospital at Renaissance and pronounced dead from his injuries. The case report identifies the shooter as Victor Lee Alfaro, then 27, who fled the scene and was later arrested in Weslaco, Texas.

Family testimony at trial included Reyes Jr.’s sister, Nancy Lopez, who said Alfaro put on gloves and loaded a 9mm before the shooting, and that he held her at gunpoint after the shooting and apologized. Prosecutors presented evidence they said showed Alfaro had smoked methamphetamine before the killing. The first trial ended in a mistrial in 2018 when the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.

The case raised questions about domestic conflict and substance use in the community and remained a focus for Reyes Jr.’s family. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Reynaldo, please come forward.
