    What makes this case a capital murder is the suspicion that robbery was allegedly involved. And while the woman may not have actually been the actual shooters in the case, they were allegedly involved in the crime.

      Both woman who appeared in jail uniforms have extensive criminal records.

   Police say the two took part in the botched robbery in July that led to the shooting death of 31 year old Jose Vasquez.  Both are being held on $250,000.00  21-year old Heather Warden and 26-year old Andrea Mitchell were advised of their rights and introduced to their court appointed bond.  Judge Maricela Saldana increased Warden's bond to $500,000.00 since Ward was already on parole for auto theft when the alleged murder occurred.

   The women will make another court appearance if and when the case is indicted by the grand jury.

   37 year old Charles Orr was arrested in Hollywood, California last week.

   The process of extraditing him back to Corpus Christi are already under way. Investigators believe Orr was the trigger man in this homicide.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
