WACO, Texas — Justin Angel Hernandez has now been charged with capital murder in his involvement in a deadly September shooting.
An arrest was made months after a 22-year-old Waco man was found shot to death last year in September, according to the Waco Police Department.
On Nov. 18 police arrested 19-year-old Justin Angel Hernandez in the shooting death of Israel Martinez.
Martinez was found dead last year at the 2200 block of Gurley Avenue around 10:20 p.m. on Sept. 19, according to police.
Police said Hernandez was originally arrested by the U.S. Marshall's Fugitive Task Force on an unrelated charge.
After his arrest, however, investigators were able to get an additional warrant for Martinez's murder, police said.
Martinez's murder marked the 13th criminal homicide in 2021 for Waco, police said.
