Jorge Rolando Arbaiza, 61, was fatally shot on March 16, 2025, inside a McDonald’s in Katy, Texas, while picking up Happy Meals for his grandchildren. His wife, Teresa, was waiting in the parking lot with the children when the shooting began; she called him and heard him say he was dying before the call ended. The violence started during an altercation between two groups of young people, reportedly aged 16 to 21, and the restaurant was crowded with customers, including several children, at the time.

Authorities arrested two suspects: 24-year-old Antoine Leandre Ridge, accused of firing the fatal shot and charged with murder, and 19-year-old Paul Whitley, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Ridge had a pending warrant for aggravated assault tied to an earlier incident. Investigators say the groups had been traveling in a maroon SUV and a white sedan and are seeking additional suspects.

Arbaiza’s family says he was a devoted husband and grandfather; a GoFundMe was organized to help his widow and family. Does anyone have information about the altercation or the vehicles involved that could help investigators?
