On June 26, 2024, a shooting at the Chick-fil-A at 5300 N. MacArthur Blvd. in Irving, Texas, left two employees dead: 31-year-old Brayan Alexis Godoy and 49-year-old Patricia Portillo. Both were on duty when the attack occurred. Brayan Godoy, originally from Guatemala, was a father of four who had moved to North Texas and worked multiple jobs to support his family back home. His wife, Elisabeth de Godoy, said the family depended fully on him and described the loss as devastating.

Authorities arrested 37-year-old Oved Bernardo Mendoza Argueta and charged him with capital murder. Argueta’s spouse, who also worked at the restaurant, witnessed the shooting and identified him as the assailant. Investigators believe the attack was targeted, though a specific motive has not been disclosed. The community held a memorial service on June 30 at Redeemer Church Irving to honor the victims.

If anyone knew Brayan or has information about the incident, please share what might help the families and the ongoing inquiry.
