On April 8, 24-year-old Andy Rangel was shot and killed outside a gas station on South Polk Street in Dallas.

On Sunday, April 16, Torres and Vargas Zuniga were arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection during a checkpoint search.

Both suspects are being held in the Imperial County Jail in El Centro, California. They are expected to be extradited back to Dallas.
