Jacob Cuellar, 21, was killed in the early morning hours of October 12, 2025, when gunfire erupted outside a strip mall in the 8300 block of La Prada Drive in East Dallas. Officers who responded around 1:30 a.m. found five people had been shot; Cuellar died at the scene while others were taken to area hospitals.

Detectives reviewed surveillance and witness accounts indicating a confrontation preceded the shooting. Local coverage recorded family and friends mourning and seeking justice; an obituary posted by a Dallas funeral home confirmed his name, age, and services later in October. On October 23, police said 20-year-old Alexis Armenta turned himself in to U.S. Marshals and was to be booked into the Dallas County Jail on a capital murder charge. Police also reported that another victim from the same incident, 20-year-old Daniel Cojulum Villanueva, died on October 21. Authorities say the investigation remains active and asked the public for tips.
