May 10th 1996 was a normal night for Leon Laureles he was getting ready for his midnight shift at the local Kroger. According to his family he left the house at 11:30pm which was normal for him when working this shift as he wanted to show up a little early to talk to his friends at work. Later that night eyewitnesses called the police regarding a car that was engulfed in flames on FM 2126 about 5 miles outside of Brownwood, Texas. When officers arrived they found Leon with a gunshot wound to his head. This case is 26 years old and remains unresolved to this day.
