Justin Taylor Gonzales, 20, of Dayton, Texas, died of gunshot injuries on January 19, 2016, at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. A Dayton High School graduate and member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, he worked as a chef and enjoyed fishing, cooking, the outdoors, and helping others.

The shooter was identified as William Rivera, then 18; Rivera allegedly fired the weapon on March 13, 2022, and Justin was pronounced dead at the scene despite paramedic efforts.

The shooting raises persistent questions about how a stolen vehicle and a firearm came to be used in a way that cost a young man his life. If anyone knew Justin, saw the vehicle around March 13, 2022, or has information about the incident, please share what is known.
