1 Dead, Man In Custody After Fatal Shooting In Cedar Park

CEDAR PARK, TX — A man is dead and another is in custody after a fatal shooting Wednesday night in Cedar Park.

Hector De Jesus Villatoro-Guevara, 31, was arrested Wednesday by Cedar Park police and faces a first-degree felony of murder for the death of 30-year-old Cameron T. Wilcox. He was booked in Williamson County Jail, police said Thursday in a news release.

Police received a 911 call around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on reports of a shooting at 206 Peach Tree Lane.

When officers arrived, they found Wilcox dead with multiple gun shot wounds on the home's driveway, officials said. A suspect had fled the scene.

State Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety were able to locate the suspect in Leander and take him in custody. The man was identified as Villatoro-Guevara.

Police were able to determine both Villatoro-Guevara and Wilcox knew each other.

Officials said the initial caller informed authorities the altercation between the two first began at the H-E-B at 170 E Whitestone Blvd.

The caller said her ex-boyfriend (Villatoro-Guevara) and Wilcox got into a verbal argument at the store. Afterwards, she and the victim drove back to their home on Peach Tree Lane and while they were unloading groceries, Villatoro-Guevara drove up to their driveway, officials said.

The woman said she saw Villatoro-Guevara exit his car and grab a handgun. As the suspect and victim approached each other, Villatoro-Guevara fired shots into the air and then towards the Wilcox, striking him multiple times before fleeing the scene, authorities said.

Police said the shooting incident remains an active investigation at this time.
