FORT WORTH — A man who told police that his fiancée was fatally shot May 29 by a man who apparently targeted her as she walked into her garage was arrested Wednesday night in connection with her slaying.
Samuel Ferralez, 35, was arrested in Lewisville on a murder warrant. He was being held in the Mansfield jail this morning with bail set at $100,000.
Ferralez had told police his fiance, 34-year-old Stephanie Caddy-Aqqad, had just returned home from the store that evening and was walking into the garage of their home in the 3500 block of Saint Vincent Road when a black Mercedes pulled up and a black man got out.
Ferralez told police the man walked up the driveway, yelled "Hey!" at Caddy-Aqqad, then shot the woman in the chest when she turned around. Then he fled.
Caddy-Aqqad was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital where she was pronounced dead later that night.
Despite his claims, an arrest warrant was issued for Ferralez on July 5, according to a news release issued Thursday.
Police said it is unknown what prompted the shooting.
