Police arrest 2 men in homicide on Brandywine Court

A disturbance between neighbors near the La Armada housing complex left a 22-year-old man dead last week. The two men have been arrested and charged with murder.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — On Monday, CCPD detectives obtained warrants of arrest for Rodolfo Silvas and Xavier Reyna in connection with the murder of a 22-year-old last week. 

3NEWS obtained documents Friday detailing new accounts of what happened in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man July 18. 

An affidavit for the arrests states the victim, who was identified as Patrick Cantu, was shot in the face after a disturbance with two of his neighbors. 

The incident took place just before 8:30 p.m. on the 3800 block of Brandywine Court. 

The affidavit includes a statement from a witness who told officers she knew the victim. At one point, she said the neighbors arguing with Cantu produced a handgun. 

Bonds have been set for the men totaling at a combined $1.5 million for the murder. 

Police said this is still an active investigation and encourage anyone with information to call the Corpus Christi Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (361) 886-2840. 

Anyone who would like to keep their identity secret and still provide information to detectives should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or submit the tip online
