The Brownsville Police Department identified Donez as the shooter. Brownsville police spokesperson Officer Abril Luna said Torres met up with the suspect to buy a gun.

"It was a deal gone wrong," Luna said. "The victim was there to purchase a handgun. They had a disagreement, and there was gunfire exchanged."

Cameron County jail records show Donez remains in custody on a $1 million bond.

Two other suspects, Allexsis Marie Street and Kody Gonser, were also arrested in the shooting, but a search of Cameron County court records did not show them.
