The Arlington Police Department has arrested a suspect in the murder of Alexander Rivas, who was found dead in his home on Kingfisher Lane on October 21. Rivas, 28, died from multiple gunshot wounds. After an extensive investigation, police charged 20-year-old Marshall McLemore with the crime. Key evidence included a fingerprint found at the scene and witness testimonies, according to theCity of Arlington.
McLemore was apprehended last Thursday by the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Fugitive Task Force, working with Corpus Christi Police. He was arrested without incident and is currently in Nueces County Jail, awaiting extradition. Investigators cited cell phone records placing McLemore at the scene and communications with the victim before the murder as critical evidence. Police also suspect the crime may be linked to high-risk drug activities.
The investigation began on October 21 when a visitor performing a wellness check discovered Rivas body. Police found no signs of forced entry, suggesting Rivas likely knew his killer. Relatives had expressed concern after not hearing from him for days. Early in the case, authorities appealed to the public for leads while working to identify the victim, later confirmed by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner s Office after notifying Rivas family.
