Israel Medina, 19, and David Perez, 26, were arrested June 19 in connection with the June 15 killing of Jose Salgado-Amador, 28, in the parking lot of an AutoZone at 2237 E. Riverside Dr., according to the Austin Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police said Medina was charged with capital murder, while Perez was charged with first-degree aggravated robbery for his alleged role in the killing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to investigators, officers responded to reports of a shooting about 10:47\u00a0p.m. June 15 and found Salgado-Amador suffering from gunshot wounds. Austin-Travis County EMS transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Salgado-Amador was working as a mechanic in the AutoZone parking lot when a suspect confronted him, demanded property and shot him before fleeing in a vehicle.<\/p>\n
APD homicide detectives released surveillance images and video of a suspect days after the shooting while seeking the public\u2019s help identifying those involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On June 19,\u00a0APD officers worked alongside the U.S. Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and the Travis County SWAT team to arrest both men at a home in the 14000 block of FM 969, police said. Medina had been out on bond on an automobile theft charge at the time of his arrest.<\/p>\n
