Roberto Jimenez Jr., a 15-year-old Hispanic male, was killed on March 20, 2000, during a shooting at the Mi-T-Fine Car Wash in Irving, Texas. The shooter, a former employee named Robert Wayne Harris, had been fired days earlier and returned before opening to demand the safe be opened. Harris shot multiple people at the business; five people died in the attack, including Roberto Jimenez Jr., cashier Rhoda Wheeler, manager Dennis Lee, and employees Agustin Villasenor and Benjamin Villasenor. Another employee, Ramos, was critically wounded but survived.

Harris was arrested the next day and confessed. He was charged with multiple counts of capital murder and later tried for the deaths of Agustin Villasenor and Rhoda Wheeler. The jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to death. Questions about Harris’s mental state were raised at trial when his defense argued mental impairment; the prosecution disputed those claims.

Roberto’s death devastated his family and the local community. If anyone knew Roberto, worked at the car wash, or has information about that morning, please share what you know.
