Nicholas Eric "Nick" Carrillo, a 33-year-old Hispanic man from Fort Worth, Texas, tragically passed away on February 3, 2018. He was a loving father and a devoted family man who enjoyed spending time with his daughters and caring for his dog, Prince. Carrillo was also a passionate Dallas Cowboys fan who cherished family cookouts and time with his loved ones.
On the night of his death, Carrillo was fatally shot in front of his family members at his home by his ex-husband, Jesus Duran.
Duran, who had a history of conflict with Carrillo, appeared at Carrillo's doorstep and became argumentative. When Carrillo asked Duran to leave, Duran shot him in front of Carrillo's girlfriend, Arelii Martinez, and their children. Duran then fled the scene on his motorcycle.
Following the incident, Duran became a fugitive, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The Fort Worth Police Department has been actively investigating the case and has sought assistance from the public to locate Duran. Despite the ongoing efforts, Duran remains at large, and the family continues to seek justice for Carrillo's death.
The loss of Nicholas Carrillo has been deeply traumatic for his family, especially his children, who have been receiving counseling to cope with the aftermath. The community has rallied around the family, offering support and holding vigils to honor Carrillo's memory.
Carrillo's family has also offered a reward for information leading to Duran's arrest, hoping to bring closure to this tragic event. The investigation remains open, and authorities continue to work diligently to apprehend Duran and bring him to justice.
