2 in Dallas Charged with Murder After 2 Bodies Found in Car

Moises Martinez and Andres Frausto were charged with capital murder

Two men are charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of two men found stuffed last month in the trunk of a Cadillac near a West Dallas park.

Authorities say 37-year-old Moises Martinez has admitted his role in the homicides and has named an accomplice, 26-year-old Andres Frausto. Frausto already was in custody on an unrelated charge.

The bodies of 20-year-old Jacob Collard and 28-year-old and Robert Diaz III were found May 15 after city park employees noticed a foul odor coming from the car.

An arrest warrant affidavit says police used phone records to tie Martinez to Diaz, who worked at a construction company that also employed Collard.

One witness has told police Martinez had been selling drugs to the slain men.
