Cleiver Hurel KK Gamez-Santos, 22, was fatally shot on January 12, 2024, at the Cricket Hollow Apartments in northeast Austin. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 7:54 p.m.; officers intercepted a vehicle near 11441 N. Interstate 35 and found Gamez-Santos in the passenger seat with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 8:40 p.m. An autopsy confirmed death by gunshot wounds and the case was classified as a homicide.

Investigators determined Gamez-Santos had been shot inside the apartment complex and was being driven away when stopped. In the weeks after the killing, Austin police identified and arrested two men. On February 9, 2024, 21-year-olds Erik Martinez Jaimes and Mereicio Allen were charged with capital murder; affidavits allege the pair targeted Gamez-Santos for robbery because he was wearing an Audemars Piguet watch valued at $99,850 and shot him during the robbery. Authorities also named 23-year-old Jovanni Arriaga and asked the public to help locate him, without immediately detailing his alleged role. His family held funeral services at San Jose Catholic Church and he was buried at Assumption Cemetery.
