Two people have been charged with capital murder in connection to a man found dead in Rockwall, authorities say.
Police responded to a 911 call on Thursday at 1 a.m. reporting an unresponsive male, later identified as Jean Iraheta, 34, in the parking lot of The Harbor Rockwall shopping mall.
Upon arrival, first responders discovered the subject lying on the ground with gunshot wounds. It was determined that his truck had been stolen. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigations conducted by the Rockwall PD Criminal Investigation Division located the stolen truck later that morning in a nearby city, which led to the identification and location of the suspect's vehicle in another county.
