Reynaldo Marcus Silva, 21, pleaded guilty to murder in the death of 22-year-old Alexander Antonio Borras. Silva shot Borras as he tried to steal the victim’s vape cartridges, authorities said. Officers responded to a Euless apartment complex in the 1800 block of Fuller Wiser Road about 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 10, 2024, and found Borras with gunshot wounds. He died in the hospital around two hours later. Two women later told police they saw a man wearing a hoodie at the crime scene, according to a warrant supporting Silva’s arrest. One of the women was able to get a good look at the man’s face when she looked out her apartment window after hearing gunshots. At the scene, investigators found a .40-caliber Glock magazine, a THC vape cartridge, a marijuana cigarette and cash. In a park east of the scene, they found more cash and vape cartridges and a spent .40-caliber shell casing, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. Investigators also found a cellphone near the scene, which contained social media messages between Silva and Borras around the time of the shooting. Borras’ sister told investigators that her brother was a drug dealer, and said she believed he was shot while making a transaction, the affidavit states. She also said she saw a man running from the area after the shooting in the direction where the shell casing and phone were later found. After the murder, detectives discovered Silva was messaging friends saying he needed to go to Mexico, Sorrells said.

FOX 4's Vania Castillo has more. The Brief An elderly driver crashed into a Euless barber shop last Friday after accidentally hitting the gas instead of reversing. The impact blew a hole in the front of the barber shop. One man was hit by the car and several patrons were hit with debris, but no one was seriously hurt. The store's owner says he's working with the building manager to add safety upgrades to prevent a future accident. EULESS, Texas - A Euless barber shop owner is looking for safety upgrades after a driver plowed into his storefront last Friday. What we know: Just before Razor's Edge Barber Shop in Eueless was due to close last Friday, a driver crashed into the store. The impact struck one man inside the shop, while others were hit by flying debris. No one was taken to the hospital following the crash. Euless Police confirmed the crash was an accident, saying an elderly man accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of reversing. The crash left a massive hole in the front of Razor's Edge. There was no structural damage to the building, according to Euless Fire. Barbers describe the crash What they're saying: The impact only lasted a few seconds, but those in the store during the crash said the moment has left a lasting impact on them. "Friday, finishing up. Boom, it was wild man," barber Carlos Cerda told FOX 4's Vania Castillo. "Stuff just went flying everywhere, tools, shears, blades, everything." "My boy Aiden was next to me, and as soon as I got hit, I turned around, but he wasn't there," Cerda continued. "So I was like, automatically panicking, where do you go? But he had ran next to me. I didn't know he flew that far." Razor's Edge owner Jose Prieto wondered if something bigger had hit his store. "What I first thought was, because we're so close to the airport, maybe a plane might have went down. That's how loud the boom was," Prieto said. Planning safety upgrades What's next: Razor's Edge was open on Monday a few days after the crash. Prieto says the community came together to help board up the hole left by the crash. "And then we had so many customers of ours, friends, family, stopped by. And then we got this place boarded up and cleaned up," Prieto said. "Probably by, like, one in the morning, we were done so and today, back in business." Jose Prieto He's already thinking of safety upgrades to make sure nothing like this happens again. "Hopefully, we're going to get with the property manager and try to install some of these concrete pillars, because that'll prevent it from, you know, going inside some of these businesses. It's definitely a safety concern," Prieto continued.
