Johnathon Phillip Hess, 26, was fatally shot at his residence in Temple, Texas, on April 13, 2016. Two unknown suspects approached the home and opened fire; Hess suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The same shooting also killed Vicente Hernandez, 36, of Killeen.

Temple police investigated and arrested three men from San Angelo: Lupe Martinez Chappa III, Rodrigo Lara Gutierrez, and Justin Lane Slatton Jr. Chappa and Gutierrez were indicted on murder charges, and Slatton was charged with capital murder. A witness identified Slatton as the shooter of Hess and identified Chappa as the shooter of Hernandez; surveillance footage and witness descriptions tied the suspects to the scene. Slatton was later added to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Who has information about Hess, Hernandez, or the events in Temple on April 13, 2016?
