Robert Jaden Urrea, a 19-year-old Hispanic sophomore at Southern Methodist University, was fatally shot in downtown Dallas in the early morning hours of October 31, 2020. He had attended a Halloween party and was arranging a ride back to campus when surveillance footage shows a white sedan driving with its headlights off, running a red light and stopping near an intersection where Urrea was crossing. As he passed behind the vehicle, something from the car drew his attention; when he turned, he was shot in the chest at close range and was later pronounced dead at the scene after a witness called 911.

Initially treated as a random drive-by by strangers, the investigation later identified Jeremy Rashaud Harris as the perpetrator and linked the killing to a series of North Texas murders in fall 2020. Harris’s arrest in November 2020 followed surveillance, witness descriptions, and forensic evidence; authorities connected a firearm and a black Chevy SUV to the crimes. Urrea’s mother, Patricia Weaver, described the family’s loss during court proceedings. Urrea had recently transferred to SMU, was studying law, and was active in music.

Does anyone have information about Urrea’s final hours that could add clarity to the timeline?
