On November 25, 2024, 21-year-old Ximena Ojeda was fatally shot inside a residence in the 3200 block of 32nd Street in Port Arthur, Texas. Officers responded to a call reporting a gunshot victim around 9 p.m.; Ojeda was taken to The Medical Center of Southeast Texas and pronounced dead. Justice of the Peace Joseph Guillory II ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Port Arthur police say they have identified a suspect, but that person remains at large as investigators follow leads, gather information, and take statements. The community has reacted with concern about safety in the residential area; an online memorial has been created and a GoFundMe organized by Nadia Celeste Eguia to help with funeral expenses. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Port Arthur Police Department at (409) 983-8600 or submit anonymous tips through local crime stopper programs.
