A Texas woman has been charged with capital murder in connection with the 2022 shooting deaths of two teenagers in San Antonio. Investigators say the accused allegedly used Instagram to lure the victims into a robbery setup that ended in deadly gunfire.
Texas Woman Charged in Double Murder Case
Angie Morales, 21, has been charged with capital murder of multiple persons in Bexar County, Texas, according to jail records.
The charges are connected to the deaths of:
- Gregorio Ricardo Cordova-Mejia, 19
- Angel Ray Garcia, 15
Both teens were found dead in San Antonio during the early morning hours of July 29, 2022.
Victims Were Shot Multiple Times
According to reports from local media outlets, police responded after gunshots were heard in the area.
When officers arrived, they discovered both teenagers suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victims later died from their injuries.
Authorities launched a homicide investigation that remained active for several years before the recent arrest.
Police Say Instagram Was Used to Lure Victims
Investigators allege Morales used Instagram messages as part of a robbery plan targeting the two teens.
According to court affidavits cited by local reports, a confidential informant later connected Morales to the murders.
Police reportedly found evidence showing that Cordova-Mejia had been messaging Morales just minutes before the shooting happened.
Investigators believe the victims were expecting to meet Morales at an apartment complex in San Antonio.
Affidavit Reveals Details of Alleged Robbery Plot
According to the affidavit, Morales allegedly told the teens she was “stepping out” shortly before gunshots were heard nearby.
Police claim the two teenagers were then attacked and killed by individuals allegedly working with Morales as part of the robbery setup.
Witnesses reportedly told investigators they saw two men running away from the scene after the shooting.
Unclear If More Arrests Will Be Made
At this time, authorities have not confirmed whether additional suspects have been charged in connection with the murders.
It is also unclear whether Morales has entered a plea in the case.
The investigation remains ongoing as police continue reviewing evidence connected to the deadly shooting.
Community Shocked by Teen Killings
The deaths of the two teenagers deeply affected the San Antonio community when the shootings first happened in 2022.
Now, with murder charges officially filed, investigators hope the case will move closer toward justice for the victims and their families.
