Two Brownsville men are in Cameron County jail facing capital murder charges in connection with the shooting deaths of two men here in late January. Orlando Rodriguez of the Brownsville Police Department said police arrested Alejandro Garza, of 375 Media Luna, on April 8. Investigators provided the Houston Police Department with information on Perez which culminated with an April 13 arrest there by the Houston Police Department fugitive squad. Police kept quiet about the arrests when they occured. Rodriguez said more arrests are possible.
Police believe the killings to be drug related.
Investigators said the shooting took place inside the car, which was found parked on California Road. Both men were shot from behind several times. Zamora was found in the front passenger seat and Garza was found on the ground outside the car. Records show that Municipal Court Judge Kip Van Johnson Hodge signed arrest warrants for both Garza and Perez on Jan. 24 - the same day of the murders. Rodriguez said the investigation is still ongoing.
