On May 11, 2023, 37-year-old Juan Carlos Piedra Ceballos of Irving, Texas, was fatally shot while sitting in his car. Witnesses identified a 40-year-old neighbor, Carlos Munguía, as the person who walked out of his apartment and shot Ceballos.

The next evening, May 12, Irving Police Department fugitive-unit officers located Munguía in a grassy area near Highway 183 while searching for the suspect. Officers say Munguía produced a firearm, and they opened fire; Munguía was shot and killed at the scene. The department later confirmed Munguía was the witness-identified suspect in Ceballos’ killing.

The two deaths — the civilian homicide and the subsequent officer-involved shooting — occurred within about 24 hours in Irving. Are there readers who knew Juan Carlos Piedra Ceballos or who witnessed either incident and can share information?
