Brenton Estorffe was 29 and living in Lake Dallas, Texas, when he was killed during a home invasion on October 16, 2019. According to reports, Estorffe—described as Australian—heard glass breaking in the early morning, confronted intruders while trying to protect his wife and two young children, and was shot and killed in front of them.

An extensive investigation followed. On February 23, 2023, 21-year-old Jadon Ezra Carpy was arrested and charged with Estorffe’s murder; he was 17 at the time of the killing and his bond was set at $350,000 while his attorneys sought a reduction. Authorities say there may be additional suspects and the investigation remains active. Estorffe’s father, Mike Estorffe, has spoken publicly about his son’s bravery.

If anyone has information about the intrusion or other people who might have been involved, please come forward.
