Authorities have apprehended two Mexican nationals suspected of involvement in the murder of a 43-year-old woman in Texas.

Enrique Gomez-Urbina, a 21-year-old from Mexico, was taken into custody by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. He faces charges of first-degree murder and resisting arrest, as reported by the Austin Police Department.

Currently, Gomez-Urbina is under an immigration detainer as the homicide investigation continues.

His alleged accomplice, Jesus Llamas-Yanez, aged 48 and also from Mexico, is being extradited to Mexico. He is sought by Mexican federal authorities on a weapons-related charge.

Gomez-Urbina has been formally charged with first-degree murder in relation to the discovery of the deceased woman in Austin, Texas, according to Austin Police Department sources.

On Oct. 6, a local tire shop employee found a woman’s body in a wooded area behind the business with “apparent trauma,” according to police.

The woman, later identified as Mary Gonzales, was allegedly shot to death, according to the Travis County Medical Examiner’s office.

Authorities said the night before, they pulled over Gomez-Urbina about a mile away from the scene after he failed to stop at a stop sign, FOX 7 Austin reported.

Inside his car, police allegedly found opened beer bottles, a Glock handgun and ammunition, according to the report.

Surveillance footage showed a car matching Gomez-Urbina’s near the body about an hour before he was stopped by police, FOX 7 reported.

Modelo bottles and a spent cartridge case, from the same ammunition found in Gomez-Urbina’s car, were also found at the scene.

It is unclear where the two illegal immigrants entered the U.S., and how long they were in the country illegally.
