3 dead in Starr County shooting; live grenade found
NEAR RIO GRANDE CITY Starr County authorities discovered one live grenade, two dead men and a third man mortally injured after a shooting at a rural home Sunday morning.
Starr County Sheriffs Office deputies responded to a call of shots fired at a home on Rosario Street near North Alvarez Road at about 6:15 a.m. Sunday. Inside the house, they found two Honduran nationals shot to death with an assault rifle, and a third man with severe trauma to the abdomen, said Erasmo Rios Jr., a sheriffs office investigator.
The third man was rushed to Starr County Memorial Hospital, but later died, Rios said.
Rios said investigators want to talk to 24-year-old Eduardo Moreno, of Starr County, who they consider a person of interest in the case.
He was known to frequent the area, Rios said, adding that Moreno is a U.S. citizen with a criminal history.
