Miguel Mondragon-Jaimes, 49, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 3, 2025, outside the La Michoacana Market at 9811 N I-35 in Austin. Officers responding about 2:38 a.m. found a pickup truck riddled with bullet holes and discovered Mondragon-Jaimes in the grassy area between the highway and the storefront; he was pronounced dead at about 3:25 a.m. An affidavit and the police release say he suffered a gunshot wound after a confrontation that spilled into the market parking lot shortly after he and another man had left a nearby club with two friends. One companion called 911 reporting a shooting and pointed out the truck when officers arrived.

Within weeks, police announced multiple arrests and capital-murder charges connected to the shooting. Those arrested were identified as Alejandro Hurtado-Reyes, 22; Yanaris Reyes, 29; Antonio Gonzalez, 17; Yurisander Gongora Rojas, 19; and Hector Yohany Achang Batlle, 19. Authorities described the incident as a robbery that escalated into lethal violence and said detectives were building the case using witness statements, physical evidence, and surveillance leads. The family urged the community to seek accountability and the death prompted memorials and fundraisers.

Does anyone have information about the parking lot area or the events outside La Michoacana Market that night?
