Jasmine Ozuna

Jasmine Lynn Ozuna was a 21-year-old White woman from Corpus Christi, Texas, remembered as a dedicated student who always had a smile on her face. A 2017 graduate of the Tuloso Midway Academic Career Center, she was just beginning her adult life when it was cut short by violence.

On the night of August 15, 2019, Jasmine was driving her car with a 22-year-old female passenger in a neighborhood near Moody High School. At about 9:30 p.m., she came to a stop at the intersection of Misty and Moody Drives. As the car was stopped, the passenger heard several gunshots. Jasmine had been hit. She managed to drive away quickly before stopping at Trojan and Lauren Streets to call for help. Emergency responders transported her to a local hospital, but she died from her injuries. A preliminary autopsy determined she had suffered a gunshot wound between her chest and abdominal area.

In the initial phase of the investigation, police arrested two brothers, David Molina and 18-year-old Isaac Molina, for Jasmine's murder. However, a grand jury reviewed the evidence and declined to indict them, leading to their release from jail.

The case was revisited years later when new information was presented to another grand jury. In November 2022, both David and Isaac Molina were re-indicted for the murder of Jasmine Ozuna. The indictment alleged that the vehicle she was in had been fired upon 12 times. Following the new indictment, David Molina was arrested and booked into the Nueces County Jail on a $750,000 bond. His brother, Isaac, had already been in custody since April 2022 in connection with a separate, alleged murder. As of November 2022, both brothers were in jail facing charges for Jasmine's death.
