SAN ANTONIO – Gabriel Moreno, 32, was arrested Monday night in connection with the murder of 35-year-old Jose Luis Menchaca.
Moreno is the third suspect charged in the murder of Menchaca. Police arrested Candie Dominguez, 35, and Daniel Moreno Lopez, 28, earlier this month.
The Lonestar Fugitive Task Force arrested Moreno on the Northwest Side Monday.
San Antonio police said Lopez and Dominguez doled out a deadly beating, hitting Menchaca with baseball bats while Dominguez's three children were inside the home.
After police arrested the first two suspects they learned Moreno was also involved in the fatal attack.
Ofc. Douglas Greene, spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department, verified all three suspects were involved. "We have evidence tying them to the scene, being involved in this murder," Greene said.
According to a police affidavit, Menchaca's body was found in the couple's garage. Moreno has been charged with murder.
