Pair In Dallas Charged With Murder After 2 Bodies Found In Trunk
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Two men are charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of two men found in stuffed in the trunk of a Cadillac near a West Dallas park.
Authorities say 37-year-old Moises Martinez has admitted his role in the homicides and has named an accomplice, 26-year-old Andres Frausto. Frausto already was in custody on an unrelated charge.
The bodies of 20-year-old Jacob Collard and 28-year-old and Robert Diaz III were found on May 15 after city employees noticed a foul odor coming from a Cadillac ATS parked at Pueblo Park, in the 500 block of Pueblo Street.
When Dallas Fire-Rescue arrived they found the bodies of Collard and Diaz inside the trunk.
An arrest warrant affidavit says police used phone records to tie Martinez to Diaz, who worked at a construction company that also employed Collard.
One witness has told police Martinez had been selling drugs to the slain men.
