On October 31, 2021, 18-year-old Eduardo Jaramillo was found shot dead in his car on Harris Ridge Boulevard in Pflugerville, Texas. The Travis County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call around 10:35 p.m. and discovered Jaramillo with a gunshot wound. The incident was initially believed to be an isolated event, and there was no immediate danger to the public.
An investigation was launched, and surveillance footage revealed the involvement of two suspects.
The first suspect was described as a light-skinned male with a slim to medium build, wearing a black Halloween hooded cape, long pants, and white athletic shoes. The second suspect was also a light-skinned male with a slim build, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a large front design, light-colored pants, and dark socks with light-colored slides. The sheriff's office issued a call for information and offered a reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction.
In October 2022, Roidel Enrique Vivero-Diaz, 19, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Jaramillo's death. According to the arrest affidavit, Vivero-Diaz and another individual were attempting to buy drugs from Jaramillo when the situation escalated into a robbery and shooting. Vivero-Diaz confessed to being present during the shooting and identified himself in surveillance footage. He was held in the Travis County jail on a $500,000 bond.
The case remains under investigation, and authorities continue to seek information about the second suspect involved in the crime.
