Nelson Gonzales Flores, a 47-year-old man from Richardson, Texas, tragically lost his life on December 10, 2022, in Dallas, TX. Flores was sitting in his car in the parking lot of Rick's Burgers in Far Northeast Dallas when an unknown suspect approached him, sneaked up from behind, and shot him through the car window. The suspect then took Flores' wallet, cash, and other property before fleeing the scene.
The incident occurred just before 4 a.m., and no words were exchanged between Flores and the suspect.
Dallas police have been actively investigating the case and released surveillance video showing the suspect walking around the area before the murder. The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s to early 30s, possibly homeless, wearing a backpack, plaid pajama pants, and a dark hoodie. After the murder, the suspect attempted to wash the blood off his hands behind the restaurant.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. CrimeStoppers is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect. The Dallas police are urging anyone with information about the case or the suspect to come forward and assist in the investigation.
Flores, a father of three and soon-to-be grandfather, was described as a kind and innocent man who was simply minding his own business when he was taken away from his family. The community and his loved ones are deeply affected by his loss and are hopeful for justice to be served.
