Ruben Alvarado-Montano, a 52-year-old Hispanic man, tragically lost his life on December 17, 2022, in Dallas, Texas. He was found inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The incident occurred around 5:36 p.m. at 800 N Westmoreland Road, and the investigation into his death is ongoing. Authorities are actively seeking information to identify the suspect involved in this shooting.
In a separate and unrelated case, Ruben Alvarado, a 24-year-old
man from Mesquite, Texas, was sentenced to 37 years in prison for the murder of Chynal Lindsey, a transgender woman, in 2019. Alvarado claimed that he strangled Lindsey in self-defense after discovering her biological sex during an encounter at White Rock Lake. He then disposed of her body in the lake. This case drew significant attention due to the broader context of violence against transgender women in the Dallas area.
It is important to note that these are two distinct cases involving individuals with the same name, and there is no indication that the murder of Ruben Alvarado-Montano is connected to the earlier case involving Ruben Alvarado.
The investigation into Ruben Alvarado-Montano's death continues, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Scott Sayers at 214-671-3647.
