On May 2, 2023, at about 8:41 p.m., Waco police responded to a shooting near the 1900 block of JJ Flewellen Road and found 17-year-old Tercquan Johnson with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. This was the seventh homicide reported in Waco that year.

Investigators identified 17-year-old Ruben Villa Lee Dominguez as the primary suspect. Dominguez was arrested on May 10, 2023, by the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in Freestone County, extradited to McLennan County, and later indicted by a McLennan County grand jury in July 2023 on murder charges. As of the last available update, Dominguez remains in custody awaiting trial.

The shooting drew attention to youth violence in Waco and prompted local community groups to mobilize. If anyone has information about Johnson, his movements that evening, or the circumstances near JJ Flewellen Road, please share what is known with investigators.
