Diana Concepcion Resendiz, a 30-year-old Hispanic woman from Dallas, Texas, tragically lost her life on November 15, 2020. She was the mother of three children and was killed in a violent incident that also claimed the life of her father, Raul Carillo Resendiz. The double murder occurred shortly after the family had ended a birthday gathering for one of Diana's grandchildren.
According to reports, Raul Resendiz was shot and killed outside his home in Pleasant Grove while returning from a
soccer game. Diana, witnessing the attack, attempted to chase down the assailants in her car but was fatally shot two blocks away. The family has described the incident as a devastating and senseless act of violence.
Following the murders, Dallas police launched an investigation and received a tip from a viewer of a local news story that led to the arrest of Shon Irving. Irving was charged with the murders of both Raul and Diana Resendiz. The arrest was part of the 93rd successful arrest made through the "Trackdown" series by FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, which encourages viewers to provide tips on unsolved cases.
The Resendiz family has been vocal in their quest for justice, appealing to the public for any information that could help further the investigation. They have expressed their grief and frustration, emphasizing that they are good people who did nothing to deserve such a tragedy. Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible for the killings.
The case remains a poignant reminder of the impact of violent crime on families and communities, and the ongoing efforts to seek justice for the victims.
