Houston Police say victim was shot and killed in Greenspoint area last December

HOUSTON – Two suspects are facing capital murder charges in the shooting death of a taco truck operator last December, according to court documents.

On Dec. 4, Yaddua Barraza-Hernandez, 36, was working at a taco truck on West Dyna Drive in Greenspoint when he was shot and killed.

Houston Police later arrested two suspects, Angel Adonis Saldivar-James, 24, and Oscar Armando Roland Menjevar, 19. Both were booked in December and charged with murder and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, respectively.

New court records filed on Saturday show that Saldivar-James and Menjevar now face capital murder charges. Before these new charges, Saldivar-James was the only suspect accused in the shooting.

On the night of the shooting, Houston Police said two suspects approached the business where Barraza-Hernandez was working when one fired into the taco truck and the other grabbed money. Both fled on foot.

A judge denied bail for Saldivar-James on Dec. 13, marking the first usage of Proposition 3 in the state.

Court records show both suspects are on immigration holds.

Saldivar-James and Menjevar are scheduled for court appearances on Tuesday.
