Street Shooting in Haltom City: 2 People Arrested for Murder of 16-Year-Old; Looking for 2 more

HALTOM CITY, Texas – Haltom City police arrested two people in the road rage killing of a 16-year-old in September.

Police say they are still looking for other suspects.

According to police, the suspects attempted to bleach and spray paint the exterior of the black 1999 Honda Accord before leaving it in the backyard of a vacant Fort Worth home.

Multiple cameras and surveillance video from the Honda license plate led investigators to 21-year-old Jasue Moreno and 21-year-old Juan Perez.

“The subjects did not tell the truth about where the vehicle was. They said it was sold to someone,” Haltom city police Sgt. Rick Alexander.

On Tuesday, Haltom City investigators detailed the two-month investigation and decoded evidence that they believe put the two 21-year-olds in the Honda on the night of Sept. 15.

According to police, both men opened fire, killing 16-year-old Raul Gonzalez.

The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a Chrysler 300. The teen's brother was driving and had just pulled out of a parking spot in front of the Accord.

Seconds later, surveillance video shows the Honda driving up next to the Chrysler.

According to police, Moreno fired a handgun from the driver's seat. Perez fired a rifle. The bullets went through the right side of the Honda and into the rear of the Chrysler.

“It was later learned during the investigation that the crime was not only spoken to other people, but also posted on social media. So there were a handful of people who knew about it,” Alexander said.

Some of Moreno's friends were interviewed by Haltom City police. Their phones were scrubbed, a Google search of previous FOX 4 stories about the fatal shooting revealed.

Investigators also found Snapchat videos of the two suspects reenacting the shooting with others in the background.

“We know there are people out there who have information about the crime,” Alexander said.

Both Perez and Moreno are charged with murder.

Haltom City Police believe there were four men in the Honda that evening and are investigating two additional suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Haltom Town Police Department.
