Arbaca reportedly owed him between $1,800 and $2,200, but the DA's office says "instead of paying his debt, Abarca killed Marfani" by shooting him in the head. Two witnesses driving toward the parking lot said they saw Abarca in a large white truck "screeching out of the lot," and found Marfani dead inside his car. Video surveillance also caught the entire incident on camera. The next day, Abarca was pulled over by the Harris Co. Pct 3 Constable's Office and agreed to talk with detectives from the Sheriff's Office.
During the interview, the DA's office said Abarca admitted to meeting the 25-year-old for money and "broke down, telling investigators that his life was over and that he was going to jail for a long time." He was charged with murder but freed on bail and in 2017, "jumped bail and fled to Mexico," the DA's office added. There, Abarca remained for about year until an anonymous tip helped investigators find and bring him back to Harris County.
"Gun crime in our community is rampant because of cases like this, in which a relatively minor disagreement led to a cold-blooded murder," Ogg said. "The victim’s family lost a son and a much-loved family member, and our hearts ache for them."
