Authorities have arrested the man believed to be responsible for the double murder at Howardwick Monday night.
Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said Jarvis Fierro was arrested and charged with capital murder in Amarillo today at about 12:30 p.m. on Bell Street. Fierro is the brother of James Edward Fierro, who was shot dead Monday along with Candice Garrett in Howardwick.
Blackburn said there appears to be no good motive for the crime at this time. He credited several agencies with assisting the Donley County Sheriff’s Office in making the arrest, including Amarillo Police Department and SWAT Team; the Department of Public Safety Texas Rangers, Highway Patrol, and CID; and the Carson and Oldham County sheriffs’ offices.
The bodies of Candice Racheal Garret, 33, and James Edward Fierro, 34, were discovered Monday night in the couple’s residence on Lakeview Lane after the sheriff’s office received a call at 10:09 p.m.
