Eliazar Eli Acosta, 43, was fatally shot outside a residence in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 10, 2023. Local authorities opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Prior to his death, Acosta had run-ins with the law, including an arrest in September 2020 by Arlington police after a multi-city chase; he faced a charge of failure to identify a fugitive and had recorded parole violations.

The Fort Worth Police Department is asking the public for help, and the community response has included online memorials; GunMemorial.org lists sixty candles for Acosta. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact local law enforcement.
