Elliot Sebastián Jiménez León, a 26-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on December 26, 2024, in the Trinity Groves neighborhood of West Dallas. According to reports, he and a friend had parked there on Christmas night when gunfire erupted. As they tried to leave, Jiménez León stopped to speak with a woman in Spanish; moments later his friend heard shots and found him suffering from a gunshot wound.

Multiple witnesses were present but did not render aid; bystanders were reported to have recorded videos on their phones. Investigators have not determined whether Jiménez León was the intended target or was hit by stray fire. Dallas police have identified two vehicles of interest: a dark-colored car seen driving away with its lights off and a white van observed slowly leaving the parking lot.

No suspects have been named and no arrests have been reported. Anyone who was in the Trinity Groves area on December 26 or who has video, dashcam, or other information is asked to come forward to help clarify what happened to Elliot Sebastián Jiménez León.
