A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fatal northwest Dallas shooting earlier this week.
Rocky Mejia Jr. was booked Thursday into the Dallas County jail on a capital murder charge in the death of 34-year-old Juan Hernandez Esparza.
As of Friday afternoon, Mejia’s bail had not yet been set, and it was unclear if he had an attorney.
According to police officials, Hernandez Esparza was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound about 3:20 a.m. Monday in the 3200 block of Lombardy Lane, near Geraldine Drive.
