Christopher Calvo-Palacios, 19, was killed in a shooting on November 27, 2024, at an apartment complex in the 330 block of McDonald Street in McKinney, Texas. The incident was reported around 8:07 p.m. Witnesses said Christopher approached a dark gray Dodge Ram parked at the complex and exchanged gunfire with a 20-year-old male passenger inside the truck; both sustained gunshot wounds. Christopher and an 18-year-old, Christopher Perez, were taken to Medical City McKinney; both later died. The Dodge Ram had been driven by 21-year-old Josue Mejia, who, police say, transported the injured 20-year-old and Perez to the hospital.

McKinney police arrested two people in connection with the shooting: 18-year-old Christopher Perez and 21-year-old Josue Mejia, both from Princeton, Texas, were booked into the Collin County Detention Facility and charged with murder. Investigators described the episode as isolated and said they were working to determine each person’s role and what led to the shooting.

Christopher was born December 5, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia, and lived in McKinney. He worked as a plumber in construction, attended Christ Fellowship in McKinney, and was expecting a son, Galileo Christopher Calvo, with his girlfriend Dayanara Acevedo. Funeral services were held December 4, 2024, at Centro Cristiano Vida Abundante, followed by a committal at Ridgeview Memorial Park in Allen.
