A Texas father says his TikTok videos helped lead to an arrest in his son's murder case. Carlos Laguna Jr. was fatally shot in the head while leaving a concert Nov. 18, 2023.
A Texas father says his TikTok videos helped lead Fort Worth Police to his 19-year-old son's suspected murderer. Luis Carlos Laguna Sr.'s son, Louis Carlos 'Carlos' Laguna Jr., was fatally shot in the head while leaving a ranch party and concert in November 2023. Earlier this month, Fort Worth Police arrested and charged Martin Ramirez-Lopez, 20, in Carlos' murder. 'He was a good kid.
But those plans were cut short on Nov. 18. 'My son and his two friends were leaving this ranch party in North Fort Worth. When they were leaving, they got into an argument with another group of individuals, both male and females. And it was strictly verbal, just arguing back and forth,' Laguna said. 'There was no pushing, there was no punching — nothing like that. Nothing physical. The two groups separated. My son went on his way with his friends. They got in his truck.
It paid off, big time,' Laguna said. 'This guy's in jail. I hope he never comes out of there again. And … he can never do this to anybody else.' Lourdes Laguna said the arrest has brought her family 'some peace,' but it doesn't bring her son 'back.' 'Another family's going to have to suffer. … They're losing their son. We lost ours,' she said of the suspect.
