Brandon Moten, 24, faces a capital murder charge in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Adrian Elvir Yanez last month.
Texas mass shooting suspect Francisco Oropesa found hiding in closet, officials say
A witness told a detective he was standing with the men in a parking lot when they were approached by two people, one of whom pointed a “rifle-type gun” at them and said it was a robbery, according to the affidavit.Police found surveillance video that showed the two robbers getting out of a white sedan with a black line on the side — which sped off after the shooting — and officers recognized the vehicle as being connected to a string of nearby robberies, the affidavit says.
On April 16, officers followed that vehicle to a 24 Hour Fitness in Mesquite, where they detained Moten, his brother and two other passengers, the affidavit says. Police also recovered a gun that matched the witness’ description from a backpack belonging to Moten’s brother, and they wrote in the affidavit that the bullets inside matched the caliber and brand of casings found at the scene of the shooting.
Moten’s mother, who owns the car, called a detective and said she only allows her son to borrow the car and that he had it the day of the shooting, according to the affidavit. GPS data revealed Moten’s cellphone and the car were at the shooting location, and the car’s GPS showed it returned to Moten’s home afterward, the affidavit says.
Moten, who also faces an assault charge stemming from a January incident in which he is accused of throwing his girlfriend to the ground, remained in custody Wednesday. He is being held without bail because of two probation violations, court records show.
