Alexis Gonzales was a 20-year-old woman from Corpus Christi remembered by family as outgoing, with a distinct laugh. She had attended Carroll High School and worked as an eyelash technician. Her life ended on February 5, 2023, about 11:30 p.m., when a shootout erupted in the 2700 block of Persimmon Street after several people arrived at a residence in two vehicles. Investigators say the parties knew each other and that individuals from both sides fired weapons. Alexis was fatally shot and died at the scene; four others were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries.

In the days after the shooting, police arrested three men: 19-year-old Freddy Davis, 22-year-old Attrieon Sherrill, and 22-year-old Jacob Salomon, each charged with murder. Charges were dismissed against all three in July 2024 while the district attorney’s office prepared to present the case to a grand jury. The case against Salomon was later revived with reduced charges and his jury trial set for March 16; the status of charges for Davis and Sherrill has not been publicly updated. Alexis’s mother has attended court hearings and described the ongoing process as deeply painful for the family.

Does anyone have information about the February 5, 2023, shooting on Persimmon Street or knew Alexis and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
