HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Court records show that a second suspect has been charged in the killing of a Houston taco truck operator.
Yaddua Barraza-Hernandez, 36, was shot and killed while working at a taco truck on West Dyna Drive on the night of Dec. 4.
Court records show that Oscar Armando Roland Menjevar, 20, is the second suspect charged in connection with Barraza-Hernandez’s shooting death.
Both Angel Adonis Saldivar-James and Menjevar are now charged with capital murder in Barraza-Hernandez’s death.
Both Saldivar-James and Menjevar have been in jail since December for murder and aggravated robbery, respectively, but the new capital murder charges, according to court documents, were filed on Friday.
Records indicate that before the new charges on Friday, Saldivar-James was the only person accused in Barraza-Hernandez’s killing.
According to the Houston Police Department, two men approached the business. One shot into the taco truck while the other took money. Police said family members discovered the scene after not hearing from Barraza-Hernandez, who had told them he was closing up.
Court documents allege that both suspects committed several crimes over seven days, including the homicide of Barraza-Hernandez.
Records show that both suspects are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
