On October 17, 2024, 34-year-old Jean Carlos Iraheta was found with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of The Harbor Rockwall shopping mall on Summer Lee Drive in Rockwall, Texas. Officers and emergency medical services responded to a 911 call at about 1 a.m.; Iraheta was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Investigators reported Iraheta’s pickup truck had been stolen from the scene, and authorities said they suspect the murder may have occurred during an attempted vehicle theft.

The Rockwall Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division led the inquiry. Detectives located the stolen pickup later that morning in a nearby city and then in a neighboring county, developments that led to arrests. Two people — 32-year-old Abygail Chaparro and 29-year-old Terry Lacy — were taken into custody and charged with capital murder and held at the Rockwall County Detention Center. Multiple law enforcement agencies collaborated on the case, which the department says remains under investigation. A GoFundMe set up in Iraheta’s memory describes him as an Amazing Father, Son, Cousin, and friend.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the truck, or the events that night is asked to come forward.
