Trackdown: 3 suspects arrested for Dallas smoke shop employee’s murder
DALLAS - U.S. Marshals arrested three men in connection to a Dallas murder that was featured on FOX 4’s Trackdown.
Derrick Griffin, Eddie Coleman, and Vincent Casteel are all being held in the Dallas County jail.
Police said last month, armed robbers shot and killed Estevan Narvaez Jr. and wounded another man at a smoke shop and game room off Ledbetter Drive in East Oak Cliff.
"Our victims, Estevan Narvaez and Mark Araguz, were inside this location, and two African American young men came to the location and attempted to rob my two victims. A brief scuffle ensued. Weapons were produced, and shots were fired," Dallas Police Homicide Det. Laurent Swanson told FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb in July. "Our suspects took property and literally casually walked away from the scene."
Narvaez was a father, husband, and son. It was his first day working at the smoke shop, but he never returned home.
According to court documents, police received numerous calls and text messages about the suspects after the case appeared on FOX 4's Trackdown.
They were able to use witness testimony and video from inside the store to link 20-year-old Griffin, 42-year-old Coleman, and 58-year-old Casteel to the case.
