A Corsicana man accused of shooting an 11-year-old boy Sunday morning in Angus has been charged with murder and was still in the Navarro County jail as of late Tuesday afternoon.
Justice of the Peace Vicki Gray set his bond at $75,000, according to Mike Cox, chief deputy with the Navarro County Sheriff’s Office
Julio Briones Alonso, 35, was originally arrested Sunday for injury to a child and released on bond. However, when José Francisco Juares died in at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, the first charge was dropped, and replaced with murder.
The incident happened Sunday morning around 4 a.m., and the mother drove her injured son to Navarro Regional Hospital. He was flown to Dallas, but died later that day.
Juares was a fifth-grader at Carroll Elementary School in Corsicana, and has three siblings. He is the son of Carlos and Aideli Juares.
Some volunteers tried to come up with a carwash fundraiser to help pay for the funeral, but the attempt was canceled because there wasn’t enough time, according to Kristin Lopez, a family friend.
Juares was shot Sunday morning before dawn when a group of people had gathered in Angus following a party, according to Alonso’s mother-in-law. The family called 9-1-1, but finally canceled the ambulance in favor of driving the boy to the hospital in one of their own cars. Juares was flown from Navarro Regional Hospital to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, where he died of his wounds.
