Abel Elias Acosta is accused of the triple murder at the Garland gas station the day after Christmas. Investigators believe he was targeting one of them in retaliation for an earlier incident.

Garland police said they are still utilizing all possible resources, including the U.S. Marshals, who specialize in tracking down fugitives.
