Guadalupe Gonzalez, 57, was shot and killed shortly before 5:30 a.m. on January 2, 2026, in the 11800 block of High Meadow Drive in northwest Dallas. Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel pronounced Gonzalez dead at the scene; a second person was critically injured and taken to a local hospital.

Police arrested 26-year-old Noah Trueba at the scene and booked him into the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge. According to the arrest affidavit, Trueba met Gonzalez and the other victim through an online dating application and spent time drinking and using drugs with them. Trueba has told investigators he acted in self-defense, alleging the couple tried to sexually assault him; he fled the immediate scene after the shooting and was later found hiding near a highway.

The motive remains under investigation. Does anyone have information about activity in the High Meadow Drive area that morning or about interactions involving Gonzalez and Trueba?
