A North Texas woman is charged with capital murder after shooting and killing a seller during a Facebook Marketplace meetup, police say.
Detectives say gas station surveillance video showed the shooter, later identified as 19-year-old Amaya Medrano, waiting in the parking lot as Akhalaf's truck pulled into the station and parked. Medrano met Akhalaf at the passenger side of the truck for a brief conversation.Shortly after, Medrano ran from the truck before turning around and shooting Akhalaf once. Police say there was no sign of a disturbance before the shooting.
The same Facebook profile that had previously messaged Akhalaf was advertising an iPhone matching the description of the phone he was selling.
