A 16-year-old boy known as “K-SO” has been arrested in connection with the June 29 death of Gonzalo Diaz Jr. at the Carriage House Apartments. The hunt continues for his alleged accomplice.
According to the Odessa Police Department, Kannin Shorter, “K-SO” and a third person went to the apartment complex to meet a group of other people to conduct an illegal fire arm transaction. Surveillance video revealed the trio approached the vehicle occupied by Diaz and Shorter and “K-SO” began shooting into the vehicle, injuring three and killing Diaz.
“K-SO” is now in custody on suspicion of capital murder and authorities continue to look for Shorter.
The investigation continues and more charges are expected. Anyone with information regarding this incident and Shorters’ whereabouts is encouraged to notify Crime Stoppers at 432-333-TIPS, if you wish to remain anonymous.
The harboring of a wanted person is against the law in the State of Texas. Anybody who assists Shorter, hides him, or provides him a way to evade capture will face criminal charges, per Texas Penal Code 38.05 Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution.
