Three men have been arrested in connection with the shocking murder and attack at a tobacco shop and gaming parlor in Dallas, Texas.

Derrick Griffin, Eddie Coleman and Vincent Casteel are currently being held in the Dallas County Jail facing serious charges in connection with this violent crime.

Employees as target of a brutal crime

The tragedy occurred last month at a tobacco shop and gaming parlor on Ledbetter Drive in East Oak Cliff. Narvaez, a father and husband, was working his first shift at the establishment when two armed robbers entered and began a violent confrontation. According to Dallas Police Homicide Detective Laurent Swanson, the suspects, armed with guns, confronted Narvaez and another man, Mark Araguz.

The situation quickly escalated and a brutal fight ensued. The robbers fired their weapons, beat Narvaez and stole property before casually fleeing the scene, leaving a trail of grief and devastation in their wake.

Witnesses and camera footage link suspects to crimes

Narvaez’s death casts a heavy shadow over his family and community. The investigation gained momentum thanks to numerous tips and public support. Crucial evidence, including witness testimony and surveillance footage from the store, was instrumental in linking 20-year-old Griffin, 42-year-old Coleman and 58-year-old Casteel to the crime.

Family and friends mourn the victim of a senseless death

As the suspects await their court dates, the community continues to mourn Narvaez’s untimely death. His family must grapple with profound loss and search for answers to the senseless violence that turned their lives upside down.
