Marco Arthur Cornejo, 20, was fatally shot on April 30, 2023, at a post-prom party near Sherman Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. An argument between Cornejo and another individual escalated and Cornejo was shot in the torso. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds.

Cornejo was married to Daniela Gomez and was father to a young daughter; the couple were expecting a second child. Gomez described him as a grateful and loving father who would not live to meet the baby. Fort Worth police investigated the killing for months and on November 14, 2023 arrested 17-year-old Michael Lopez, charging him with murder in connection with the shooting. Motive and many circumstances of the argument remain under investigation.

Anyone who knew Marco, attended the party, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
