Raul CinkOh Bustamante, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot in the parking lot of Los Balones Sports Bar in Grand Prairie, Texas, early on the morning of July 24, 2016. Bustamante, who was the lead singer of the band Impacto 05, had just finished performing with his band when he was murdered. Witnesses reported that a gray SUV pulled into the parking lot, and a man, possibly wearing a mask, stepped out of the rear passenger door and shot Bustamante multiple times before fleeing the
scene.
The investigation into Bustamante's death revealed that he was targeted specifically, as no other individuals were harmed during the incident. Grand Prairie police have been actively investigating the case, but as of now, no arrests have been made. Detective Lena Aguayo, who has been working on the case since 2016, believes that the murder was a "murder for hire," possibly linked to a complicated relationship involving Bustamante's ex-girlfriend and one of her boyfriends. The police have released a composite sketch of the suspect and are offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the case remains unsolved, and the family continues to seek justice for Raul Bustamante. His death has left a significant impact on his family and friends, who remember him as a bright, young man with a promising future. The Grand Prairie police, along with the FBI's Violent Crime Task Force, are committed to finding the person responsible for his death.
