CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Harold 'Hal' Dilger Jr., the man shot after a run-in with a 17-year-old allegedly stealing from cars on Norvel Drive, died Friday morning, according to officials with the Corpus Christi Police Department.
The shooting happened May 9. The suspect, 17-year-old Victor Martinez, fled the scene but was later arrested for aggravated robbery.
He posted a $75,000 bond out May 20, but was rearrested Friday following Dilger's death.
Martinez now faces capital murder charges, and is being held on a $750,000 bond.
The United States Marshal Service Gulf Coast Violent Offender and Fugitive Task Force assisted the CCPD Crime Reduction Unit in Friday's arrest.
