Edgar Cruz Macedo, a 26-year-old Hispanic male, tragically lost his life on March 1, 2014, in Austin, Texas. The incident occurred at Club Zota De Oro, a nightclub in South Austin, where Macedo had gone with his ex-brother-in-law, Arturo Torres. While at the club, Macedo got into a confrontation with two men in the restroom. Torres, who attempted to intervene, brandished a handgun.
During the struggle, the gun went off, and Macedo was fatally shot in the head.
The investigation revealed that all the men involved in the altercation fled the scene, including Torres. The authorities later identified Torres as the primary suspect in the shooting. Torres, a 29-year-old Hispanic male, was described as being about six feet tall and weighing 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Despite efforts to locate him, Torres managed to evade capture and was believed to have fled to Mexico.
The case has been a source of immense pain for Macedo's family, particularly his mother, Petra Macedo. She has been vocal in her demand for answers and justice for her son's death. Petra Macedo has expressed her anguish over the loss of her son, who she described as bringing happiness to their home. The situation was further complicated by the fact that Edgar Cruz Macedo had a 10-year-old son with Torres' sister. Petra Macedo has pleaded for the opportunity to see her grandson, who she considers the last connection to her son.
Despite the passage of time, the case remains unresolved, and Torres is still at large. The authorities continue to seek information on his whereabouts, urging anyone with knowledge to come forward. The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force has been involved in the search, but Torres' exact location remains unknown.
