Who are Rodriquez Chavez and Dakota Mejer and what did they do?

Answer 1

Juan Rodriguez Chavez and Hector Fernandez stole a car from a Greyhound maintenance facility in Dallas, Texas. They drove the car to a Dallas County apartment complex. Jose Morales and Yadira Ramirez were standing outside the apartment building near public telephones. Chavez exited the stolen car and walked toward the telephones, as if he were going to make a call. Instead, Chavez drew a revolver and shot Morales. After Morales fell to the ground, Chavez took Morales' wallet from his back pocket and shot him again. Morales died of a gunshot wound to the back.

Chavez and Fernandez then drove the stolen car to a construction site where Chavez killed security guard Susan Ferguson by shooting her in the face and then running over her body with the stolen car. Forty minutes later, Chavez shot another security guard, Kevin Hancock, in a West Oak Cliff apartment complex, leaving Hancock permanently paralyzed. Ten minutes after the attack on Hancock, Chavez and Fernandez went to East Oak Cliff where they robbed three men standing by the roadside. Chavez shot and killed Jesus Briseno, while Fernandez, using a 9 mm pistol stolen from Hancock, shot and wounded Francisco Jaimes and Alberto Guevara.

Chavez committed the current offense during a brutal three month crime spree in which he committed a total eight armed robberies and nine murders. Chavez committed five of these murders during the 24 hours surrounding the current offense. During the punishment hearing, the State's evidence indicated that Chavez had previously been convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison for murdering Vincente Mendoza in Dallas County on Dec. 28, 1985. Chavez served seven of the 15 years before receiving parole in 1994.

Dakota L. Meyer (born June 26, 1988) is a United States Marine Corps veteran and recipient of the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Kunar province, Afghanistan.
