BUNA, Texas — An 18-year-old Buna man has been charged in the fatal shooting of another 18-year-old man found along the highway Wednesday in Buna.
Cody Dwayne Vann, 18, of Buna, has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Arthur Logan Orosco, 18, also of Buna, according to the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.
He is being held in the Jasper County Jail where his bond was set at $1 million by Jasper County Precinct Six Justice of the Peace Brett Holloway.
Vann was taken into custody on Wednesday.
Jasper County deputies were sent to a location on U.S. Highway 96 south of the Tractor Supply at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning after receiving reports that someone was lying on the edge of the highway.
When they got there, deputies found Orosco on the southbound shoulder of the highway with multiple gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff's office.
During the investigation, police obtained information from multiple sources that led to investigators executing a search warrant at a residence in Buna where Orosco had recently been living.
Evidence was collected from the residence and further investigation showed that Orosco was with Vann the night before the shooting.
Orosco was shot by Vann early morning on Wednesday after an argument took place between the two.
The investigation is ongoing and more information cannot be released at this time, according to police.
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
