Fabian Rivera, a 40-year-old Hispanic male, tragically lost his life on July 30, 2019, in Rosenberg, Texas. The incident occurred when Fabian's ex-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, Juan DeLeon Jr., went on a shooting spree. DeLeon first shot at his ex-girlfriend and her friend while they were in a car, but they managed to escape and seek safety with a deputy. DeLeon then drove to Fabian's home, where he fatally shot Fabian and his mother, Gloria Rivera, who was 64 years old.
After committing these murders, DeLeon returned to the location of his ex-girlfriend and shot himself. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office investigated the crime scenes and determined that there was no clear motive for the shootings. The ex-girlfriend, who was also shot but not critically injured, was treated and released from the hospital. The tragic event left the community in shock, with neighbors expressing disbelief and concern over the unexpected violence.
No arrests were made in connection with the murders, as the shooter, Juan DeLeon Jr., died from his self-inflicted gunshot wound. The investigation concluded with the determination that DeLeon acted alone in the shooting spree. The families of the victims have been left to grieve and seek support from their community during this difficult time.
The case remains a somber reminder of the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of community support for those affected by such tragedies.
