TRUMANN — An Arkansas man has been charged with capital murder and kidnapping after police say he held his ex-wife at gunpoint outside a Walmart and fatally shot a man who tried to intervene.
The Jonesboro Sun reports that 22-year-old Gabriel Urrabazo was charged Thursday in Poinsett County Circuit Court.
Police Chief Chad Henson says officers saw 21-year-old Faith Morgan leave the Trumann Walmart with Urrabazo on April 23 when he held a gun to her head.
Henson says 35-year-old Robert Highfill tried disarming Urrabazo, which officers advised against. Police said Urrabazo then shot and killed Highfill, who is Morgan's uncle.
Urrabazo is being held at Craighead County jail on a $500,000 cash-only bond. Jail records don't list an attorney for him.
Trumann is a town about 120 miles northeast of Little Rock.
