Christopher Ignacio Chapa, a 27-year-old Hispanic man from Galveston, Texas, was found dead in his home from a gunshot wound to the head on June 16, 2014. The shooting occurred during an argument with his girlfriend, Claudia Kristine Esquivel, who was a recent graduate of Galveston College’s Law Enforcement Academy. Esquivel was arrested and charged with Chapa’s murder shortly after the incident.

The case went to trial. Prosecutors argued Esquivel, who had firearms training, knew the gun was loaded; Esquivel contended she didn’t know the gun was loaded and had pointed it in self-defense. In March 2016 a jury found her guilty of murder; she was sentenced to 27 years in prison and fined $10,000. Chapa’s mother testified about his bright future and his role as the family’s rock.

Are there readers who knew Christopher, his routines, or who can share information about the night of June 16, 2014?
