A McAllen man and Alamo woman were arrested after a man was shot and killed at a McDonald’s parking lot, according to Alamo Police Department’s Public Information Officer Jacob Garcia.
Alberto Angel Medina, 23, and Christina Louise Montemayor, 44, were both charged with murder and were arraigned Wednesday and weren’t given a bond, Garcia said.
The shooting occurred Tuesday night outside a McDonald’s located at 1018 W. Frontage Road in Alamo.
Garcia stated that Medina shot the yet-to-be-identified victim three times in the torso area, one may have struck him in the bicep.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Jerry Munoz.
He added that Montemayor, who acted as the getaway driver in the shooting, turned herself in to police and gave them information that helped them locate Medina.
Police then found Medina in the 600 block of North 19th Street in McAllen.
Garcia stated this address was known to McAllen police, who assisted in the investigation, as it had been the location of a murder that occurred in July.
Police believe the shooting may have been gang and narcotic related. The residence where Medina was located has been affiliated with gang activity, according to Garcia.
There was a second vehicle involved, but the people or the vehicle have yet to be identified.
“We’re working very diligently on the case at this point, checking all leads … to identify the second vehicle,” Garcia said.
