A 26-year-old Edinburg man has been indicted for driving into two people, killing one, over an argument about a $100 debt.
Luis Antonio Garza is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He’s accused of killing 20-year-old Edinburg resident Briseida Cobarrubias on July 14 when he drove his green Dodge Ram into her and 27-year-old Edinburg resident Jorge Galvan, who survived.
Galvan told investigators that he and Corbarrubias were arguing with Garza, who initially began to walk away, before getting in the truck and accelerating toward the pair, according to the affidavit.
Authorities obtained surveillance video from neighboring homes that corroborated Galvan’s story.
After his arrest, Garza said in a video confession that he got into an argument with Galvan over $100 he owed Garza.
“He intentionally drove his truck towards Jorge striking Jorge and Briseida causing her death,” the affidavit stated.
Garza remains held in the Hidalgo County Adult Detention Center on a total of $1 million in bonds.
