In the early morning hours of July 14, 2024, 28-year-old Jesus Lopez Pacheco was shot and killed in the Party City parking lot on the 2600 block of South Campbell Avenue in Springfield, Missouri. Officers arrived after reports of gunfire and found Pacheco with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the confrontation began at a nearby bar and surveillance video showed Pacheco striking another man as they left. The dispute moved into the parking lot where witnesses reported the other man assaulted Pacheco, retrieved a firearm, and shot him as Pacheco tried to flee; the shooter then discarded the weapon. Police located 27-year-old Josue Fernando Alvarado Valenzuela at the scene with multiple non-life-threatening injuries; he was treated, arrested after release, and charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Does anyone who was in that area that night have information about the bar confrontation or the moments in the parking lot?
