SUMMARY: Rafael Solis Junior, a drug dealer connected to the overdose deaths of teenagers in Carrollton and Flower Mound, has pleaded guilty to federal charges. Solis admitted to selling 1500 fentanyl-laced pills, three of which were sold to a middle school student in Carrollton who died of an overdose. This is the first Carrollton fentanyl case where a drug dealer has admitted to directly selling a pill to a teenager who died. The DEA in Dallas has made progress in their investigation into the deadly drug ring, but there is still more work to be done. The case highlights the danger of fentanyl and the lengths people will go to for money. A new state law that creates a criminal offense of murder for supplying fentanyl that results in death may act as a deterrent for other dealers.

A 23-year-old drug dealer accused of selling fentanyl to a Carrollton middle schooler, who later overdosed and died, has pleaded guilty to a federal crime.

SUMMARY: The Texas Center for the Missing, established in March 2000 in Greater Houston, was founded by Dorene Wise after her 17-year-old son, Gabriel Lester, went missing and was later found deceased. The nonprofit, led by CEO Mel Turnquist, aims to aid families in similar situations through education, law enforcement training, and guiding families. With 11,000 new cases and only 18 investigators in the Greater Houston area last year, the center focuses on appropriate alert activation to ensure public attention. They provide resources such as flyer creation and support groups, emphasizing the importance of immediate reporting and public alert response. The center continues Gabriel's legacy to reunite missing persons with their families.

In this week's “Missing in Texas,” we're taking a look at a nonprofit dedicated to helping families of missing loved ones, and how a case in Austin inspired a mother to start the organization.

The video, which Wright's family and friends had sought for a year and a half, was finally released. After watching it, District Attorney Kelly Higgins dropped Garcia's deadly conduct charges at the family's request. Garcia, previously indicted and let go from the Sheriff's Office, agreed to surrender his correction officer's license and will not seek future employment in a related field.
