On November 9, 2014, 41-year-old Hispanic man Francisco Vaquier was found dead on the floor of his apartment at the Churchill Crossing Apartments in Mesquite, Texas. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the head and the Mesquite Police Department discovered his body after responding to a call about a deceased person at the complex.

Police identified 42-year-old Mauro Ramos Cruz, who was living with Vaquier’s ex-girlfriend in the same apartment complex, as a suspect. Cruz was later arrested and charged with murder after being found trying to blend in with a group of day laborers in Dallas and taken into custody.

The investigation focused on the connection between Vaquier and Cruz through the ex-girlfriend as authorities worked to establish motive and the circumstances of the shooting. Does anyone who knew Francisco or was in that apartment complex at the time have information that could shed light on what happened?
