Officers were given clothing and physical descriptions and were told the last direction Soto had been running toward. The shooting victim, now identified as Henry Martinez, was immediately transported to Plains Regional Medical Center with life threatening injuries. He has since been transported to a Lubbock, Texas area hospital, his condition has not yet been released.
At about 10:00 a.m., a Detective located Narcizo Soto in the area of 6th and Sheldon Streets, subsequently taking him into custody. The Major Crimes Unit was activated to assist in this investigation.
Records show that Soto and Martinez had been arguing about other family members just before the shooting.
