HPD Homicide Division Detective Sergeant K. Meek and Detective S. Overstreet reported:
Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at an apartment complex at the above address after witnesses reported hearing gunshots in the area. Officers located two men and a woman near a vehicle in the parking lot. Paramedics pronounced them deceased and transported a fourth shooting victim to a hospital.
One witness stated he and his friends were hanging out by his apartment when a dark, four-door vehicle with multiple suspects inside drove by causing a confrontation. After a few moments, the suspects got out of the vehicle and began shooting at the group. The suspects then fled the scene.
Further investigation led to the identities of Salazar, Bartolo and Turcios as suspects in this case. Salazar was arrested on March 12, Bartolo was arrested on Sunday (March 14) and Turcios on Wednesday (March 17).
