As reported by KENS 5:
A Chavez Excel Academy student is now facing capital murder charges in connection with a double murder from last year.
Joshua Castro, 18, was arrested Wednesday at the school, which is on the Holmes High School campus, with the help of the U.S.
Marshals Fugitive Task Force and Northside ISD police officers.
He is accused in the deaths of a father and son who were shot and killed in a convenience store parking lot in the 9000 block of Potranco Road on Dec. 6, 2023.
Police said surveillance video showed Castro and another suspect, Sebastian Toledo, 18, had set up a meeting with the victims for a deal to purchase a firearm.
According to an arrest affidavit, surveillance video showed that Castro and Toledo were in a car parked next to the victims' car. After a short conversation, both victims were shot.
The victims were identified as 34-year-old Raymond Ancira and 15-year-old Raymond Alexander Ancira.
The younger victim made his way inside the service station before collapsing. The senior Ancira fell out from the driver's seat of his car and was found there by responding officers.
The affidavit says the two suspects rummaged through the victims' vehicle before fleeing the scene.
Police believe the meeting was planned, based on the actions seen on the surveillance video, the affidavit states.
