A couple are behind bars on murder charges, accused in the November shooting death of a man in west Oak Cliff.
On November 5th, police reports say Xavier Ramon Hernandez-Hankins was gunned down on the sidewalk on West Illinois near South Cockrell Hill Road.
Police learned that Hernadez had been seen with Rubi Esparza and Basilio Tovar at a club that night. Hernandez reportedly left and Tovar and Esparza went looking for him.
Police documents suggest that security video showed what happened next. Hernandez was walking along Illinois when a truck pulled up alongside. Suddenly, the passenger door opens and someone shoots Hernandez in the head.
Detectives say Tovar was in the passenger seat while Esparza was driving because she had not been drinking. A license plate reader identified the vehicle which was registered to Esparza.
Additionally, mobile phone records put both Esparza and Tovar at the scene at the moment when Hernandez was shot.
