Julian Cruz, 39, was fatally shot in the early hours of January 15, 2023, at The Grove Apartments, 4405 N. Navarro St., in Victoria, Texas. Victoria police say multiple 911 calls came in for gunshots around 3:44 a.m.; officers found three people had been shot. Cruz died at the scene. A 31-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Investigators described the incident as isolated and said there was no immediate threat to the public. No arrests had been reported and detectives were actively pursuing leads, with authorities asking anyone with information to contact Victoria Crime Stoppers anonymously. Cruz was born December 14, 1983. He enjoyed music — especially DJ Screw — liked jewelry and Cadillacs, and spent time gambling, playing dice, fishing, and with family. He is survived by his wife, Crystal Cooke, and his children Noah Donovan Cruz and Jewel Giana Cruz.

Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved?
