Two men were arrested this week in connection to a fatal shooting outside of an Amazon fulfillment center in Bexar County, Texas.
According to the Independent, Jamari McKillion, 21, and David Perez Morales Jr., 20, were arrested this week on first-degree felony murder warrants in the Jan. 11 death of Katrael Delosier.
Authorities said the incident occurred around 10 p.m. Sunday in the warehouse’s parking lot, where police found two individuals with gunshot wounds.
The victims, Delosier and Johnny Bermea III, were rushed to the hospital. Delosier died from his injuries, while Bermea is said to be in stable condition.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, the shooting stemmed from a workplace dispute between Bermea and another Amazon employee. The unnamed worker told police that Bermea had been “talking shit” all day and challenged him to a fight during their scheduled shift break.
The employee said Bermea suggested he had a firearm in his car, which prompted the employee to call his friend McKillion for “backup.” Once their break came, the employee reportedly led Bermea to the vehicle where his friends were waiting.
One of the occupants exited the car, opened fire, and fled the scene.
After reviewing surveillance footage, witness statements, and cell phone data, police suspected that Morales was the shooter and McKillion was the getaway driver. Both men were arrested the following day; McKillion was taken into custody at another Amazon facility in San Antonio, and Morales was arrested at his home.
Jesus Garcia, public relations manager at Global Corporate Trust & Reputation, responded to the shooting in a statement to KENS 5 News.
"We're heartbroken by the tragic loss of a valued member of our team and are keeping the victim's family and loved ones in our thoughts," he said on behalf of Amazon.
"We're providing support to the family and counseling support to employees. We've added additional security to the site and are cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation. Operations at SAT4 were suspended following the incident. On-site counselors and Resources for Living support have been arranged for employees. We'll defer to the Bexar County Sheriff's Department for any additional information at this time."
As of press time, McKillion and Morales remained in Bexar County jail. Their bonds have been set at $300,000 each.
