Hijinio Estevan Steven Moreno, a 40-year-old Hispanic man and native of Abilene, Texas, was fatally shot at his Portland Avenue residence on June 13, 2014. A former U.S. Marine and father of three, Moreno worked as a mechanic, truck driver and oilfield worker and was described as actively involved in his children’s lives. He is survived by his wife Sheila Bynum, sons Tyler Whitney and Marcel Estevan Moreno, daughter Angela Michelle Moreno, and granddaughter La Zae Whitney.
Police say the shooting followed a confrontation after 30-year-old Randy Vialpando forcibly entered the home while his wife was present. Vialpando was arrested the next morning during a traffic stop where officers found ammunition in his truck that matched the bullets used in the shooting; a .45 caliber gun case and magazine clip were also recovered from his home. Vialpando was indicted on capital murder and two counts of burglary of a habitation; Randi Vialpando was indicted on a marijuana possession charge.
Did anyone in Abilene have contact with Steven the week before June 13, 2014, or see suspicious activity near Portland Avenue that night?
