On the evening of April 14, 2023, 37-year-old Adrian Gilberto Elvir was fatally shot during an attempted robbery at his apartment complex on Chapel Creek Drive in Northwest Dallas. The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. Elvir and another man were in the parking lot when two assailants approached, shouted in English, and opened fire. Elvir was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second victim was transported to a hospital in critical but stable condition.
Elvir, a native of Honduras, was a husband and father of ten children, seven residing in Honduras and three in Texas, including a six-month-old infant. His family expressed profound grief and fear following the tragedy, with relatives stating, "He didn’t deserve to die like this. It’s unfair." A witness to the shooting, William Rojas-Sanchez, reported that the suspects fled the scene in a white sedan.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with Elvir's death. The Dallas Police Department continues to investigate and has urged anyone with information to contact Detective Yahir Perez at 214-671-4735 or via email at [email protected].
