Robert Cisneros, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot in the chest during a fight at Abilene North Apartments in the 3400 block of Vogel Avenue on May 17, 2016. He was pronounced dead at the scene after the disturbance among a group of people at the complex.

An 18-year-old from Anson, Jared William Dean Dykes, was identified as the shooter. He was arrested on an outstanding burglary warrant from Jones County, later charged with murder after two witnesses identified him, and ultimately pleaded guilty, receiving a 24-year prison sentence. Another 18-year-old, Kobe Tayler Poston, was indicted in connection with the incident and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; he was held in the Taylor County Jail in lieu of a $75,000 bond.

The shooting had a deep impact on Cisneros’s family and the local community. If anyone has information about what led up to the fight that night or witnessed events at the apartment complex, please share what is known.
