CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Three people have been arrested for the death of a 64-year-old man who was found on Koepke St. last week.
Romeo Salinas, 18, Aaron Moreno, 17 and Santiago Paz, 19, have all been charged with murder, according to the Corpus Christi Police Department.
Officers were called to the 2500 block of Koepke St. around noon on June 9 to check out a possible accident. They found Don McCollough at the scene with critical injuries. He later died, officials said.
An investigation found McCollough had been assaulted during an argument. The suspects left the scene while the man was unresponsive on the ground, CCPD officials said.
On June 10, investigators with CCPD's Homicide/Robbery Unit secured three murder warrants for Salinas, Moreno and Paz.
Salinas was taken into custody by CCPD's Gang Unit early Saturday morning, while Moreno and Paz were served while already in jail on unrelated charges, officials said.
Each were booked on murder charges with $500,000 bonds. All three are being held at the Nueces County Jail.
