Seventeen-year-old Marcos Villanueva was fatally shot on February 10, 2024, while working the front counter at a Church’s Chicken in the 4600 block of Scyene Road in Dallas. Witnesses say a man entered the restaurant, asked for Villanueva by name, and, as Villanueva approached the counter, produced a handgun and fired multiple times. Dallas Fire Rescue performed life-saving measures but Villanueva died at the scene.

Detectives canvassed the area for surveillance and witness accounts, locating video of a man in a burnt orange hoodie, dark pants and white flip-flops near the scene. Body-camera footage from an unrelated February 2 incident showed an individual who had given the name Jeremy Grant and resembled the suspect. An eyewitness later identified Jeremy Grant in a photographic lineup, and on February 19, 2024, 23-year-old Jeremy Grant was arrested and charged with murder; bond was set at $1.25 million.

Family members said they were bewildered by who would want to harm Villanueva and described him as a responsible teenager who worked to support his family. Does anyone have information about Marcos, the day of the shooting, or surveillance in that area that could help the investigation?
