Clerk Accused of Selling Alcohol to Teen Before Fatal Wreck

A Houston-area convenience store clerk has been charged with selling alcohol to a 17-year-old driver before a wreck that killed two of the teen's classmates.

Harris County criminal court records show 29-year-old Gumaro Munoz Campos was arrested Sunday on the misdemeanor charge. He lives in Humble, just north of Houston.

Prosecutors believe Jaggar Smith drank a bottle of wine before the July 25 accident that killed 16-year-olds Salma Gomez and Chloe Robison. All three teens attended Atascocita High School.

Smith is charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter.

Chris Porter is a spokesman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. He said Monday that Campos is accused of selling alcohol to Smith before the wreck.

An attorney for Campos was not listed in court document. He also does not have a publicly listed telephone number.
