Alex Samuel Torres was a 13-year-old student at Haas Middle School who was shot in the head inside his home in Corpus Christi, Texas, after answering a knock at the back door on January 13, 2015. He enjoyed sports, video games, and spending time with family and friends; his death devastated the community.

Investigators worked the case for more than 18 months before a bank robbery arrest in summer 2016 produced evidence that focused attention on David Davila as the prime suspect. The matter went to trial three times; each trial ended with a jury unable to reach a unanimous verdict and the prosecutions were ultimately dismissed, leaving the family without a criminal conviction.

Reports describe a possible motive tied to a love triangle and accusations of deadly revenge. Who has information that could help clarify what happened to Alex or that remembers the case from Corpus Christi in 2015–2016?
