Lazarious DeAngelo Harrell, an 18-year-old male of African American ethnicity, tragically lost his life on July 7, 2017, in Mesquite, Texas. He was one of two victims found shot to death at Shands Park around 11:15 p.m. The incident was part of an ongoing dispute rather than a random act of violence.
Alberto Martinez, also 18 years old, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted capital murder and one count of capital murder in connection with the shooting.
The investigation into the incident continued as police followed all leads to ensure justice for the victims.
The loss of Lazarious Harrell was a devastating event for his family and the community, and the legal proceedings against Alberto Martinez were closely watched by those seeking accountability for the tragic deaths.
