The incident unfolded around 1 a.m. on Oct. 27, when deputies responded to a report of a man lying near Avenue 291 and Road 166 in Farmersville, bleeding on the ground.

Deputies found Angel Puga, 25, of Farmersville, who had suffered blunt force trauma and a gunshot wound. Puga died at the scene, officials said.

According to investigators, Puga was at a large Halloween party and was attempting to leave when he was confronted by a group of individuals identified as Northern gang members.

The suspects reportedly beat Puga during the altercation and ultimately shot him before fleeing.
