Three people arrested for murder in shooting at illegal gambling website, Dallas police say

Three men are each charged with capital crimes committed last month at an illegal gambling den in Oak Cliff, Dallas police said Thursday.

They were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 40-year-old Estevan Narvaez Jr. on July 24 and the wounding of another man, police said.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Derrick Griffin on Wednesday, 42-year-old Eddie Coleman on Aug. 14 and 58-year-old Vincent Casteel on Aug. 9. All three were booked into the Dallas County Jail, online records show, and it is unclear if any of the three have an attorney.

On July 24 at around 8:45 p.m., officers responded to a call of a shooting in the 300 block of East Ledbetter Drive, near Rocky Ridge Road, and found two men shot at what police described as an illegal gambling site.

Narvaez died at the scene, while the other man was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Police said illegal gambling was taking place in the area when at least two people entered the building, demanded property and fired at Narvaez, hitting him and then fleeing. In the days following the shooting, police asked for the public's help in identifying the people seen at the scene and released surveillance footage.

Within weeks, a U.S. Marshals task force arrested Casteel, Coleman and Griffin. Bail for Griffin and Casteel was set at $2 million each. Coleman's bail is $2.5 million, and online records show several probation violations related to robbery charges.

All three were still in custody on Friday morning.
