Jorge Ordonez-Perez, a 28-year-old Hispanic man, was killed in the early morning hours of December 19, 2023, at the South Shore apartment complex, 2005 Willow Creek Drive in Austin, Texas. Police say the shooting stemmed from a romantic dispute.

Court documents state 42-year-old David Urias Mejia-Villagran accused Ordonez-Perez of having a relationship with his wife about a month before the shooting and had threatened to kill him if it continued. On December 19, Mejia-Villagran used a GPS tracker to find his wife’s car, traveled from Kyle with his son, carried a handgun and confronted the pair. The son reported hearing two loud pops; when he approached, he saw Ordonez-Perez lying on the ground next to the passenger side, bleeding but apparently still breathing. Deputies located Ordonez-Perez’s body partially concealed by a concrete parking stop; he was later pronounced dead.

Anyone who knew Jorge, was at the South Shore complex that morning, or has information about the events leading to the shooting is asked to come forward.
