Enrique Gomez-Urbina, 21, of Mexico, was arrested by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and is charged with first-degree murder, according to the Austin Police Department.

Two of Gomez-Urbina’s “associates,” Jesus Llamas-Yanez, 48, of Mexico, who is wanted by federal authorities in Mexico for a weapons charge, and Javier Roman Hernandez, of Mexico, are being extradited back to Mexico.
