On June 3, 2024, 19-year-old Christopher Martin Govea was shot and killed inside the Wingstop at 963 E. Irving Boulevard in Irving, Texas. The shooting began after Govea, who had recently been promoted to manager, told a newly hired employee, 22-year-old Marc Leon, to end his shift early. An argument followed and Leon allegedly produced a handgun and shot Govea multiple times. A stray bullet grazed another employee, who was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Irving police arrested Leon on foot within ten minutes of the shooting and recovered the handgun believed to have been used. Family members described Christopher as the primary breadwinner for his household because of his father’s health, the youngest of seven siblings and a responsible, hardworking young man. Funeral services were held June 7–8, 2024, at International Funeral Home and Oak Grove Memorial Gardens, and a GoFundMe was set up to assist with funeral expenses. The investigation into the circumstances remains ongoing.

If anyone worked at that Wingstop or witnessed the incident, does new information about the moments leading up to the shooting exist?
