On the evening of July 22, 2023, 28-year-old Isac Espinoza was shot in the parking lot of The Republic Apartments in Huntsville, Texas, after an argument with an acquaintance, 30-year-old Dallas Kristopher Day. Espinoza was transported to Huntsville Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead from his injuries. Law enforcement identified and arrested Day; he was charged with murder and booked into the Walker County Jail with bond set at $300,000.

Investigators stated the two men were known to each other, but the specific cause of the argument remained under investigation. Espinoza, born August 17, 1994, was a lifelong Huntsville resident and is survived by his parents, siblings, two daughters and their mother, and other family and friends. A memorial service was held August 1, 2023, at Sam Houston Funeral Home in Huntsville.
