Luis Gerardo Leal-Carrillo was 22 when he was shot and killed while working as a convenience store clerk in Terrell, Texas, on October 28, 2013. The shooter was identified as 36-year-old Charles Brownlow Jr., who was later arrested in connection with a violent rampage that included multiple victims.

Investigators reported Brownlow had long-standing psychological disorders and had been diagnosed as intellectually disabled since childhood. Brownlow was convicted of capital murder in May 2016 and sentenced to death, but the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned that death sentence in February 2020 on the grounds the jury had not been properly instructed about determining intellectual disability, ordering a new sentencing hearing. The Kaufman County district attorney’s office had not announced a final decision on whether to seek death or life without parole.

If anyone knew Luis, worked with him, or remembers that night in Terrell, please share information that could help his family and the ongoing case.
