Damián Alexander Alemán Valdez, 20, was shot dead in the early morning hours of July 20, 2015, in the Fuentes del Valle neighborhood of Juárez, Texas. He and his friend Aarón Baray Nava, also 20, were traveling in a Toyota when an unknown assailant ambushed the vehicle and opened fire. Both young men were killed; another person in the vehicle was wounded.

Damián was a student at El Paso Community College and was described as athletic and dedicated to his studies. Aarón was a student of Economics at the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. Investigators identified Paris Lau Campbell as the primary suspect; he was described as the son of a former rector of the university. Authorities said the investigation was ongoing and no arrests had been announced.

The case drew local attention in part because of the suspect’s family ties to the university. If anyone knew Damián, Aarón, or saw the Toyota in Fuentes del Valle around 3:00 AM on July 20, 2015, please share what you know.
