On March 11, 2023, 47-year-old Aristeo Rivera-Monterrubio was shot and killed outside his apartment in the 3200 block of Junction Street in South Dallas. He and a friend were in the complex courtyard having beers when the friend briefly left to use the bathroom. Three unidentified people approached Rivera-Monterrubio; one drew a firearm and shot him as he reached for his own gun. The assailants then took his weapon and ran off on foot.

Surveillance footage shows three suspects. One is described as a Black male carrying a distinctive backpack with a shiny, reflective square or diamond shape. A second Black male wore a colorful jacket. The third wore a mask and hoodie. Detective Jeff Loeb has asked the public for help identifying the men and said the backpack and jacket might be recognizable. No arrests have been announced.

Rivera-Monterrubio, born December 23, 1976, was remembered as a hardworking painter devoted to his family. If anyone saw the suspects near Junction Street on March 11, or recognizes the backpack or jacket, please contact Detective Loeb at 214-790-1836 or CrimeStoppers.
