According to Luna, Montoya was at the parking lot allegedly selling a firearm when he was shot and the suspects fled the scene.

The shooting triggered a temporary shelter in place order at the nearby UTRGV campus.

The suspect vehicle was located and police detained three individuals — including Ibarra and the juvenile.

Bond for Ibarra was set at $3.55 million.

The investigation into the shooting continues, Luna said.
