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.
