Episode 139: Johnny Raymond Resendez

In this week's unsolved homicide case, a 22-year-old Hispanic man named Johnny Raymond Resendez, was murdered in Levelland, Texas on May 20, 1990. A witness was present when he was killed. It was Jessica Alvarado, his 6-year-old daughter. Johnny Raymond Resendez was born on June 14, 1967. The former convict had every intention of staying out of trouble once he was released. He had told his family that he deeply regretted getting into legal trouble. After being released, he vowed to be a responsible father to Jessica.


During the early morning hours of May 20, 1990, Johnny and some family members, including Jessica, drove to a business called Darrell’s Place to buy alcohol. While there, he got into an argument with a black male. Johnny was stabbed to death in front of his daughter. She watched her father die. The killer then drove off in a silver and black pickup truck.


Jessica is still heartbroken over the loss of her father. And the image of him being stabbed to death has never left her mind. She is now a mother and is devastated that her children will never meet their grandfather.
