KINGSVILLE, Texas — There have now been three arrests made after a fatal stabbing in Kingsville which took the life of 65-year-old Jacinto Obregon.
Police say Obregon was cleaning his car in his driveway on Oct. 6 when two men attempted to rob him and stabbed him before running off. Obregon's wife called police when she heard him yelling from the driveway.
Moments later, police say a responding officer saw a man run across the 500 block of S. 6th street in Kingsville. When the officer approached him, he was found with blood on his hands, according to police.
He was arrested and later identified as 18-year-old Omar Valdez from Dallas. Police say witnesses also identified him as being involved in the stabbing. He has been charged with Capital Murder.
Three days later, as police continued their investigation, two more men were arrested.
17-year-old Tristen Silguero from Kingsville is currently being held on a $1,000,000 bond that was set by Kleberg County Justice of the Peace Carmen Cortez, according to police. He is also being charged with Capital Murder.
19-year-old Raul Garcia from Houston and Long Beach, California, was also arrested and charged for the offense of Coercing, Inducing, or Soliciting Membership in a Criminal Street Gang. He is currently being held on $30,000 bond, which was also set by Cortez.
Police say all three men are self-admitted members of a Criminal Street Gang, but Garcia was not directly involved in the Murder. According to police, it does not appear the death of Obregon was gang-related.
