A teenager facing murder charges in two fatal shootings in Pleasant Grove was arrested Monday, according to Dallas police.
Police identified 17-year-old Pablo Veliz last week and said he was wanted in connection with shootings in May and December, a report from KTVT-TV (Channel 11) shows. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
Veliz was 16 at the time of the shootings, which happened within a few miles of each other. While police don’t typically name juvenile suspects, a judge granted an exception, the report said. On Tuesday, police said that because he was a juvenile, they would not be identifying the 17-year-old arrested in the shootings.
Police said that on May 2, a group was fighting when someone opened fire and struck three people near the intersection of North Masters Drive and Carolina Oaks Drive. Isaac Aguirre, 16, was killed.
Two others were taken to hospitals. One was shot in the foot, police said, and the other suffered unspecified “minor injuries.”
Aarzo Jones, 27, died at a hospital after being shot December 11 in the 10500 block of Lake June Road, near Amity Lane, police said.
