Javier 'Big Dawg' Arredondo, owner of Vato Loco Tattoo in Arlington, Texas, has been charged with murder in the shooting death of an employee he'd just fired Tuesday afternoon.
Texas authorities arrested a convicted felon Thursday night after he allegedly shot a Harris County deputy during a traffic stop, prompting a massive manhunt and hourslong standoff resulting in two more deputies being shot. shop on Tuesday fired an employee, who refused to leave the parlor, according to the Arlington Police Department, then shot him to death in an argument over his final paycheck.
The victim wouldn't leave, according to authorities, and amid a heated argument, Arredondo had everyone else leave the shop. Three witnesses told police that the victim had become upset and aggressive before they left. They'd barely gotten outside when police say the witnesses heard three gunshots — at least one of which struck the victim in the head.
Arredondo himself called 911, asking for police to remove the man before the shooting, authorities said. But while Arlington Police Headquarters is just three blocks away, the shooting took place before they arrived. "Arredondo felt in fear that [redacted] would harm him," the affidavit continues."Arrendondo decided to draw his firearm and shoot [redacted] three times."
