Aarón Baray Nava, a 20-year-old male of Hispanic ethnicity, tragically lost his life on July 20, 2015, in Ciudad Juárez, Texas. He was a student at the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, pursuing his final semesters in Economics. Aarón was known to be close to his church and was described by his family as the younger brother.
The incident occurred in the early hours of July 19, 2015, when Aarón, along with two other young men, was shot while traveling in a Toyota pickup truck
in the Fuentes del Valle neighborhood. The attack took place shortly after they had left a nightclub. Aarón and another victim, Damián Alexander Alemán Valdez, were killed instantly, while a third individual, Alexis Cano, succumbed to his injuries several days later.
The investigation into Aarón's death revealed that París Lau Campbell, the son of a former rector of the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, was identified as the primary suspect. París was believed to have carried out the shooting, but at the time, he remained at large and no arrest warrant had been issued. The case was highly publicized, and the authorities were under significant pressure to apprehend the suspect and bring him to justice.
Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests were made immediately following the incident. The case continued to be a focal point for law enforcement agencies, with efforts to gather sufficient evidence to charge París Lau Campbell. The community and Aarón's family awaited justice, hoping for closure and accountability for the loss of their loved one.
The tragic death of Aarón Baray Nava left a lasting impact on his family, friends, and the community, who remembered him fondly and mourned the loss of a young life cut short by violence.
