Jonathan Crews, 27, was found dead in his Coppell, Texas, apartment on February 2, 2014. He sustained a single gunshot wound from a SIG Sauer 9mm; the firearm was found beside him on top of the blanket. The bullet passed through his heart, lungs, and liver before exiting the right side of his back into the bed. Paramedics arrived after a 11:30 p.m. 911 call placed by his girlfriend of three months, Brenda Lazaro, who told the operator Jonathan had shot himself in the heart and was losing a lot of blood. Jonathan was a resident of Grand Prairie and worked as the Operations Director at Concentra; he was a competitive shooter and practiced martial arts in his free time.

Brenda told police the death was a suicide, saying a discussion ended with Jonathan declaring he loved her and would prove it, and that she did not know he had a gun. Friends and family disputed that account, describing tension between Brenda and Jonathan and noting a lunch that day with two close friends, Emily and Jacob Ramsey, had allegedly upset Brenda. The autopsy listed the manner of death as undetermined and investigators said they did not have enough evidence to determine what happened. In a later civil trial the family prevailed, but criminal charges were not filed.

Does anyone have information about Jonathan’s final hours or about the relationships in his life that could shed light on this case?
