On January 12, 2016, 17-year-old Nancy Mata of Fort Worth was found fatally shot between the foyer and living room of her Bee Tree Lane home. The attack occurred during what investigators described as a home invasion tied to a drug dispute; Nancy’s boyfriend, Ricardo Casteneda Jr., was critically injured in the same assault and was the scene’s only eyewitness.

Authorities say the dispute began over money owed related to marijuana sales that Ricardo had conducted for one of the suspects. Several armed men entered the house; police recovered large amounts of cash, marijuana, and numerous shell casings, but no murder weapon was found. Four men were arrested in connection: Aaron Rios, Steven Moreno, Israel Ruiz, and Daquarias Dennis. Rios went to trial first, but that case ended in a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. Questions about Ricardo Casteneda’s credibility and uncertainty over who fired the fatal shots have complicated the prosecutions.

Nancy was buried at Skyvue Memorial Gardens. Does anyone have information about the night of January 12, 2016, or about the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
