On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2014, a party at a trailer park in Weir, Texas, ended in a double homicide that killed two young restaurant coworkers. Yazmin Corona, 23, and Omar Ruiz, 24, were shot; Ruiz was found in the driveway and Corona inside the trailer. Both had worked at Dos Salsas in Cedar Park alongside the suspect, Jose Benitez, a 24-year-old line cook.

Investigators say Benitez had been texting Corona during the party and became angry when Corona and Ruiz discussed the messages. Authorities charged Benitez with capital murder of multiple persons and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The crime drew strong local reaction because it occurred on a holiday and involved coworkers.

Did anyone who knew Yazmin, Omar, or Jose notice tensions among them before that Thanksgiving gathering?
