As per the Forney Police Department, the suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, faces charges of capital murder in relation to the killing of Jessica Campos.

The tragic shooting occurred on December 17 in the 100 block of Mandarin Street at approximately 10:30 p.m. Upon responding to reports of gunfire in the vicinity, law enforcement discovered Campos deceased from gunshot wounds inside her garage. Evidence suggested that the assailant fled the scene after sustaining gunshot wounds.

Approximately an hour later, Arlington Police officers were summoned to a 24-hour ER facility in the 3300 block of Cooper Street after receiving reports of an unresponsive young man found in the parking lot.
