Authorities state the suspect had called cops after the capturing and informed them he had been shot in the leg by an unknown individual.
ARLINGTON, Texas– Police arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal dual shooting at an Arlington apartment complex last month ; he’s been charged with funding murder.
Officials state the suspect, 19 -year-old Xavier Weddington, was jailed Friday in Grand Savanna without case. He was scheduled right into the Arlington City Prison and later transferred to the Tarrant Area Prison.
Weddington had actually reportedly called 911 soon after the capturing to tell police he had actually been fired in the leg by an unknown person shooting at him from a vehicle, police claim. However due to variances and obscure actions, cops say police officers believed he wasn’t telling the truth.
A witness to the shooting told detectives they recognized the shooter as Weddington, cops say, and later determined him in a photo schedule.
Cops claim detectives learned Weddington on a regular basis stayed at a neighboring home and verified a close friend chose him up from the scene that afternoon and drove him to Sherry Road, which is where he apparently called 911 from.
Investigatives believe the sufferers, 17 -year-old Jason Cuevas and his 21 -year-old bro Bryan Cuevas, arranged to satisfy Weddington for a high-risk offer that went southern. Several guns were supposedly located at the scene.
Cops state they were called at about 5: 10 p.m. to the apartment complex in the 400 block of West Park Row Drive in response to the shooting.
The targets were found outside among the structures with gunshot injuries, cops claim. They were taken to a regional healthcare facility, where they were obvious dead, officials claim.
