A 23-year-old male suspect has been arrested in connection with a homicide investigation in Hargill.

The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office launched the investigation after a male was found with a gunshot wound on Thursday.

According to a news release, authorities found 41-year-old David Adam Garza suffering from a gunshot wound and without a pulse.

Investigators determined that Garza had been involved in an altercation at a location a few blocks away from the crash site, according to the news release.
