On May 3, 2024, 35-year-old Jose Luis Mejia-Sorto was fatally shot outside Cantina Guerrero, a bar at 5611 S. US Hwy. 183 Northbound in southeast Austin. Deputies responding to a 911 call found Mejia-Sorto in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at 12:39 a.m. An autopsy recovered seven projectiles from his body, including four in the head, and the medical examiner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds, classifying it a homicide.

Witnesses and surveillance footage place 32-year-old Cesar Alejandro Marquez at the bar that night. Investigators say Marquez had a verbal altercation with Mejia-Sorto and his girlfriend inside, then followed Mejia-Sorto outside, allegedly saying Go f*** yourself before shooting him twice, then firing additional shots while standing over him and fleeing in a white pickup truck. Marquez is identified by witnesses and a roommate, is described as having a prior criminal history, and is believed to be driving a white 2023 truck with a toolbox and bed cover. He is wanted on first-degree murder charges; his whereabouts remain unknown.

Does anyone have information about Marquez’s location or the vehicle seen leaving Cantina Guerrero that night?
