Father of 10 fatally shot at Dallas apartment during attempted robbery

The family of 37-year-old Adrian Elvir is left devastated as they stood Sunday in the same spot where he was shot and killed in Dallas.

Elvir was a husband and father of 10.

His widow, Wendy, was holding their youngest, who was born just six months ago.

"He didn’t deserve to die like this. It’s unfair," Elvir’s relative, Selina Velazquez, said. "We are never going to recover from this."

On Friday night at around 10 p.m., the police received a call about a shooting incident that took place in a residential complex located in Northwest Dallas, off Chapel Creek Drive. According to the investigators, an attempted robbery took place in the parking lot where two individuals were shot.

Elvir, who resided in the complex with his family, was declared dead at the site of the incident, while the other victim managed to survive despite being shot.

William Rojas-Sanchez witnessed the shooting but wasn’t injured. 

He told FOX 4 he had just returned home from the store when Elvir went outside. 

Rojas-Sanchez said, minutes later, two men pulled up and began yelling in English and then opened fire, fatally shooting Elvir. 

"I guess, when he fell, they did another shot for William, but Adrian got it," Velazquez said while translating for Rojas-Sanchez.

Elvir leaves behind seven children in his home country of Honduras, along with three others in Texas, including his 17-year-old daughter. 

His entire family said they now fear for their own life.

"It makes me feel scared. We don’t even want to be outside because we are traumatized. We are all traumatized," Velazquez said.

At present, Dallas police have not verified the description of the suspect vehicle provided by Rojas-Sanchez, who claimed that the two male suspects were left in a white sedan. Source Fox4
