Multiple bullets had struck the vehicle, and Jaramillo was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1166\">According to the affidavit, surveillance footage collected from neighboring homes and Jaramillo\u2019s spouse showed a person wearing dark clothing riding a bicycle behind Jaramillo\u2019s vehicle at about 8:44 p.m.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1422\">Investigators said the bicyclist approached the vehicle and fired several rounds before leaving the area. Additional surveillance footage reportedly showed the person returning to a residence on Talons Crest Circle shortly after four gunshots were heard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1564\">Police later identified Escamilla as the only adult male living at that residence using police records and vehicle registration information.<\/p>\n<p>Police Say Neighbor Dispute Was Under Investigation<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1760\">Investigators served a search warrant at the residence Monday and brought Escamilla, his mother and his younger sister in for questioning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1908\">According to the affidavit, Escamilla\u2019s mother told detectives that her son typically wears black clothing and owns several bicycles and firearms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"2179\">She also described tension involving neighbors. The woman told investigators Escamilla had contacted police approximately one to two weeks before the shooting because he believed a neighbor was moving hidden surveillance cameras in bushes near the front of a residence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2181\" data-end=\"2280\">The affidavit does not establish that the suspected dispute was the motive for Jaramillo\u2019s killing.<\/p>\n<p>Suspect Denied Leaving Home, Affidavit Says<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2496\">During an interview with detectives, Escamilla said he was unemployed and had not left his residence in three days. He also said he had not recently ridden a bicycle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2498\" data-end=\"2591\">Escamilla acknowledged owning an AR-15 rifle and a .357 revolver, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2770\">Investigators noted that no shell casings were recovered from the shooting scene. The affidavit states detectives considered that consistent with the possible use of a revolver.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"2973\">When detectives questioned Escamilla about surveillance footage that appeared to show him riding a bicycle around the time of the shooting, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right and ended the interview.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"3205\">Police also noted that Escamilla was wearing black shorts and a black hooded sweatshirt during the interview, clothing that investigators said was consistent with what the person in the surveillance footage appeared to be wearing.<\/p>\n<p>SWAT Responded Before Arrest<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3240\" data-end=\"3341\">Police previously said Escamilla barricaded himself inside a nearby residence following the shooting. SWAT officers responded to the scene before taking him into custody without incident Monday, according to police.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3458\" data-end=\"3501\">The homicide investigation remains ongoing. Escamilla is being held in Tarrant County custody on a $250,000 bond. He faces a murder charge in connection with Jaramillo\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3637\" data-end=\"3703\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Authorities have not publicly announced a motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 23-year-old man faces a murder charge after investigators say surveillance video showed him following a neighbor\u2019s vehicle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,2238,38617,141474,27182,141476,141475,10015,141477,141473],"class_list":["post-403843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-fort-worth-police-department","tag-fort-worth-shooting","tag-jose-alfonso-escamilla","tag-murder-charge","tag-neighbor-dispute","tag-rudy-jaramillo","tag-swat","tag-talons-crest-circle","tag-talons-crest-circle-shooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
