Victor Javier Reyes, a 23-year-old Hispanic man from Donna, Texas, was fatally shot at his home on April 14, 2015, during what is described as a robbery attempt. The group that went to his residence had gone there to purchase synthetic marijuana, and Ramon Vasquez, who was carrying a firearm, allegedly intended to rob Victor; the confrontation ended with Victor dead from gunshot wounds.

Ramon Vasquez was later found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at a local hospital. Luis Estrada also suffered gunshot wounds but survived. Several people were arrested in connection with the incident; one suspect, Victor Javier Briseño, was charged with capital murder. Briseño and others were later found guilty of aggravated robbery and related charges, and Briseño received five years of probation, community service, and a court order to stay away from Victor’s family.

Victor’s death had a deep impact on his family and community.
