On July 21, 2025, at about 4:25 a.m., Dallas Police responded to a shooting call in the 2000 block of west Northwest Highway. The preliminary investigation determined that following a disturbance between two groups at the location, 23-year-old Anthony Cristobal retrieved a gun from a car, and pointed it at 22-year-old Anthony Aguilera. Luisadolfo Mena, 26, who was employed as a commissioned security guard contracted by a business at the location, saw Cristobal with the gun, and gave loud, verbal commands to drop the gun. During this, Aguilera approached and assaulted a member of Cristobal’s group. Cristobal began firing, at which point Mena returned fire toward Cristobal. Heriberto Aguilera, 21, also opened fire toward Cristobal. Cristobal was hit, and additional security guards began rendering aid until Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel arrived. DFR transported Cristobal to the hospital, where he died.
A Grand Jury referral will be made in the shooting of Anthony Cristobal by Luisadolfo Mena and Heriberto Aguilera, which is documented under case number 103538-2025.
