Surveillance footage that revealed what authorities describe as a “drug deal gone bad.”
The Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office has officially identified Justin Tyler Camacho, 21, as the victim in Sunday night’s fatal shooting at the Windrush Apartments on Kostoryz Road in Corpus Christi.
On Monday, the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) arrested four suspects in connection with the shooting after reviewing surveillance footage that revealed what authorities describe as a “drug deal gone bad.”
The arrested individuals are:
- Guillermo Martinez, 18: Arrested Sunday night at the Buccaneer Apartments on Texan Trail.
- Aaron Fuentes, 17: Charged with capital murder and engaging in organized crime.
- Angel Galindo, 17: Charged with capital murder, engaging in organized crime, and unlawful carrying of a weapon after a handgun was found on him during his arrest.
- Eduardo Hernandez-Carrizales, 19: Charged with capital murder and engaging in organized crime.
All four suspects were identified as members of a criminal street gang. According to CCPD, the suspects were also involved in an aggravated robbery earlier the same day.
Camacho was fatally shot while inside a vehicle at the Windrush Apartments. The four suspects were seen fleeing the scene on foot.
Investigators recovered six handguns during the investigation, one of which was linked to the incident.
The suspects face charges under Texas’ Law of Parties, which holds that individuals involved in planning, encouraging, or assisting a crime can face the same penalties as the person who physically committed the crime.
For the capital murder charges, this could mean life in prison without parole or the death penalty if convicted.
The arrests were made possible through the coordinated efforts of CCPD Robbery/Homicide Detectives, the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Fugitive Task Force, and CCPD Gang Officers.
The arrested individuals were interviewed at the Main Police Station before being booked into the City Detention Center.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are continuing to gather evidence and examine the recovered firearms.
Authorities urge anyone with information about this case to contact the Corpus Christi Police Department at 361-886-2600 or Crime Stoppers at 361-888-TIPS (8477).
This tragic incident underscores the dangers of gang-related activities and the devastating consequences of gun violence. The CCPD remains committed to ensuring justice for Justin Camacho and his loved ones.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Motherโs Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO โ A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicagoโs Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnsonโs boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the motherโs boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
