Two women have been taken into custody, while another suspect remains at large following a shooting incident at an apartment complex in Irving that resulted in the tragic deaths of a mother and her daughter in mid-January.
Nicolle Martinez Tome, aged 34, and Yudi Mabel Paguada Ruiz, aged 30, are facing charges of tampering with or fabricating evidence related to the shooting deaths of 55-year-old Juana Medina Rodriguez and 23-year-old Nayeli Bolanos Medina.
The Irving Police Department revealed that Tome and Ruiz allegedly assisted 35-year-old Hector Vicente Paguada Paguada, also known as Hector Matute, in evading arrest and tampering with evidence.
The fatal shooting occurred on Friday, January 19, at the Park Springs Apartments located in the 2000 block of West Irving Boulevard.
According to authorities, Paguada is accused of fatally shooting Medina and her mother, Rodriguez, and is wanted on charges of capital murder.
Tome’s bond was initially set at $25,000 but she has since bonded out of the Irving City Jail. Meanwhile, Ruiz remains in custody at the Dallas County Jail, with her bond set at $75,000.
Law enforcement officials urge the public to remain vigilant and immediately dial 9-1-1 if they have any information regarding Paguada’s whereabouts. Civilians are advised not to approach or attempt to contact him.
