Seventeen-year-old Jay Gutierrez was fatally shot in Dallas on February 21, 2023, shortly before midnight in the 700 block of West Clarendon Drive. Officers arriving at the scene saw a black SUV leaving; Gutierrez was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead there. Surveillance video recorded a white Jeep arriving, Gutierrez approaching that vehicle, then collapsing while the Jeep sped away southbound on Cockrell Hill Road.

A cellphone recovered from Gutierrez contained Instagram messages arranging a drug purchase at the provided address, with the seller noting they would be in a white Jeep. Instagram records led detectives to 18-year-old Abel Kane Filemon; investigators located a white Jeep owned by a relative of Filemon and cellphone location data placing his device southeast of the scene shortly after the shooting. Filemon was arrested and booked on a murder charge; the arrest affidavit describes the encounter as an apparent drug deal gone wrong.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting, saw the white Jeep that night, or has information about the transaction or the people involved is asked to come forward.
