Tracking: Suspect arrested for murder of Dallas tobacco shop employee

U.S. Marshals have arrested a man in connection with a murder in Dallas that was reported on FOX 4's “Trackdown.”

Derrick Griffin is charged with capital crimes.

Police said last month that the 20-year-old shot and killed Estevan Narvaez Jr. and wounded another man at a tobacco shop and gaming parlor near Ledbetter Drive in East Oak Cliff.

“Our victims, Estevan Narvaez and Mark Araguz, were at that location, and two young African-American men came there and attempted to rob my two victims. A brief scuffle ensued. Guns were drawn and shots were fired,” Dallas Police homicide detective Laurent Swanson told FOX 4's Shaun Rabb in July. “Our suspects took property and literally casually walked away from the scene.”

Narvaez was a father, husband and son. It was his first day of work at the tobacco shop, but he never came home again.

Griffin was arrested on Wednesday. Police have not yet released any information about his connection to the case.
