Texas prosecutors charged a two-time deported criminal alien from Mexico in the cold case murder of a Texas auto shop owner. The foreign national is currently in federal prison following a conviction for illegal re-entry after removal.
Juan Eduardo Meraz-Flores is charged in the murder of a Fort Worth, Texas, auto shop owner in January 2007. The victim, Jose “Martin” Muñoz, reportedly got in an argument with a customer who allegedly pulled a gun and shot him in the head, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Muñoz left behind a widow and three children.
After recently re-opening the case, Fort Worth detectives tied evidence collected at the scene to the previously deported criminal alien who is currently in custody in federal prison, the newspaper reported.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers reported that Meraz-Flores has a long criminal and immigration history. His record includes drug possession, evading arrest, and criminal mischief and dates back to 2003. Immigration officials removed him from the country on two separate occasions in 2005 and 2009.
