Robert Klikus, a 27-year-old man from Richardson, Texas, tragically lost his life on May 18, 2017, due to a road rage incident. Klikus was on his way to work when he was shot by an unknown suspect in a white sedan. The shooting occurred on the southbound U.S. 75 Frontage Road between Campbell and Belt Line roads at around 6:30 a.m. Witnesses reported that the two drivers were arguing before the suspect fired a single shot through the window of Klikus's car.
The suspect then fled the scene in the white vehicle.
Despite the efforts of a Good Samaritan, Hitalo Villa, who broke the window and tried to help Klikus, the young man succumbed to his injuries. Villa's quick actions prevented Klikus's car from causing further harm by forcing it into a light pole. Richardson police launched an investigation and released surveillance footage of the suspect's vehicle, a white 2012 Toyota Camry, in hopes of identifying the shooter.
The investigation revealed that Klikus had a .380 caliber shell casing in his car, but it is unclear how it relates to the shooting. Police have been unable to identify the shooter, and the case remains unsolved. Richardson police have continued to seek information from the public, offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Robert Klikus was remembered as a caring and hardworking individual who had moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a fresh start. He was working towards his plumber's license and was known for his respectful and kind nature. His tragic death left a void in the lives of his family and friends, who have been seeking justice and closure ever since.
The case has garnered significant attention, with Richardson police urging anyone with information to come forward. The investigation remains open, and the family continues to hope for answers and justice for Robert Klikus.
