Police have arrested a suspect accused of shooting and killing a man outside an Arlington bar early Friday morning, Dec. 19.

According to a news release, Arlington police responded to the shooting just before 2 a.m. Dec. 19 in the 1000 block of Northeast Green Oaks Boulevard. There, officers found a 33-year-old male victim with multiple gunshot wounds who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man who died as Deandre Montrell McCowan.

The alleged shooter is Daniel Munoz, 31. Witnesses told police that Munoz and the victim got into an argument outside the bar that culminated in Munoz firing multiple shots. Munoz claimed self-defense, according to police.

Munoz was found in a car near where the shooting took place with a gun in the back seat, police said. He was with Karina Fuentes, 32, who was also arrested.

After consulting with the district attorney’s office, police obtained a warrant for Munoz’s arrest on one count of murder. He also faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon because he brought a gun into the bar, police said.

Fuentes faces a charge of interference with public duties. Both were booked into the Arlington City Jail.
