Randy Pacheco, 23, was shot and killed on February 25, 2014, while working as a manager at the Red Wing Shoe Store in an Arlington, Texas, strip mall during a robbery that took about $200. Surveillance footage showed a masked robber, and Pacheco was struck once between the eyes.

The masked robber was later identified as 22-year-old Jacob Galen Everett. Everett was arrested and charged with capital murder; the prosecution introduced surveillance footage and items recovered from his home, and investigators noted his vehicle was traded in shortly after the shooting. Everett pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery while denying he killed Pacheco, claiming the shooting was accidental. He was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The case drew strong attention because of the crime’s brutality and the family’s loss; Pacheco’s mother said she felt a measure of closure mixed with sorrow after the verdict. Did anyone who shopped at or worked near that strip mall in February 2014 see anything that might still be important to this case?
