On December 15, 2024, at about 3:00 a.m., Arlington officers found 34-year-old Juan Sosa slumped inside a parked vehicle in the 4900 block of Little Road with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and died from his injuries on December 18, 2024. A 45-year-old woman who was with him said another car, described as a Honda Civic, pulled up behind them, multiple males exited, demanded they get out, and at least one showed a firearm before shots were fired into the car. The suspects fled in the Civic.

Patrol officers located the Civic with a Lincoln Town Car shortly after 5:00 a.m. in the 1600 block of Parkway Lane. The Civic fled; the Town Car stopped and two occupants, 20-year-old Humberto Barajas and a teenage male, were detained and later linked to the shooting. The Civic was later found wrecked; 17-year-old Angel Barajas was arrested nearby. A fourth suspect, 17-year-old Ja’Tavies Jones, was arrested December 19, 2024. Investigators say the Civic had been reported stolen from Dallas the day before, and the suspects are tied to other shootings and an armed carjacking that same morning. Detectives obtained warrants charging all four with capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

If anyone knew Juan Sosa or has information about the events that morning, please share what you know.
