CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - Corpus Christi police say a 22-year-old man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk.

Police say James Elizalde was arrested Sunday on a warrant for capital murder in the death of a 50-year-old convenience store clerk during a robbery earlier that day. Elizalde remained in Nueces County jail Monday on $1 million bond. Jail records don’t list an attorney for him.

Before the arrest, police had released still images from video surveillance taken during the robbery that showed three people. Police say the other two men in the footage have been identified but are not currently facing charges, though they could at a later date.
