Defendant's number was last on slain man's pager

DICKINSON � Testimony in a cold case murder trial revealed police pegged the defendant as a suspect after finding his cellphone number last in line on a slain drug dealer�s pager.

Joseph Edward Moore, 28, is on trial for the June 23, 2003, slaying of Merced Garza, 21. Garza was shot once in the buttocks after stopping with his wife and children to use a pay phone at a Shell filling station near FM 517 and Interstate 45 in Dickinson.

Garza was found on the ground in a nearby McDonald�s parking lot.

Prosecutors called Dickinson police Sgt. John Lopez, who testified Moore�s number was the last one in Garza�s pager.

Prosecutors said Garza dealt drugs. The page was sent at 4:22 p.m., and Garza was shot about 5:50 p.m., Lopez said.

Lopez collected the pager as evidence from a police officer at the hospital where Garza was taken. Lopez then called the numbers and learned from telephone companies who the numbers were registered to, testimony revealed.

�Case leads kind of died about the end of August 2003,� Lopez said.

Lopez, however, told Prosecutor Jennifer Ott he�d already formed an opinion that Moore was the killer. Moore wasn�t arrested until August 2008 after new information in the case surfaced, testimony revealed.

Kevin Rekoff, Moore�s attorney, questioned Lopez about the investigation. He asked about the sequence of numbers in the pager and whether any numbers had been erased.

Garza didn�t receive a page immediately before pulling into the filling station, Lopez said.

Rekoff also pointed out that witnesses identified a car possibly associated with the shooting as a white Pontiac, but his client drove a white Buick LeSabre.

Lucio Tello testified Tuesday he was working on a construction job on a nearby hotel when he heard the shot. He said he saw a Grand Prix leaving the scene with a driver and passenger, and he had a good look at the driver, who had braided hair. Tello, however, didn�t identify Moore from a photographic lineup, Rekoff said.

Angela Villarreal, Garza�s wife, testified Tuesday the Pontiac leaving the McDonald�s parking lot was a Bonneville.

Police searched Moore�s car July 11, 2003, and found no fingerprints, DNA, blood or gunpowder residue evidence, Lopez said.

Villarreal also testified the car leaving the lot was damaged, possibly from a wreck.

Thank you for your recent correspondence to the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman). I appreciate your comments regarding unevenness in processing at the Service Centers. We have received several inquiries such as yours and are very concerned. We are currently discussing these issues with USCIS and continuing to review their policies and procedures concerning these petitions. Under the authority of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the CIS Ombudsman assists individuals and employers who experience specific problems during the USCIS benefits seeking process, largely to identify problems and to formulate recommendations to improve the USCIS service. Please see our website for more information about the CIS Ombudsman (www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman). You cannot expect to report the crime/video to the cops without any repercussions for yourself. It is a federal felony to hire a foreigner without employment authorization (even if the person is not an illegal immigrant) - this means, if you are convicted, you can end up in prison, lose your property, pay fines and of course you will be deported. If you have been paying them and did not disclose this to the IRS, both you and they are liable for tax fraud, in addition. This is very serious. You should hire a lawyer if you want to deal with them legally. I wonder where does people come up with such detailed info from. federal felony, lose your property , wow!!!! Even big corps hiring illegals getting away with just fines. Law Enforcement do not worry about the immigration status of the person. I know 2 incidents where my friends got in to car accidents with illegals . the other parties had no license, No id and No insurance. In both cases the cops weren't even bothered about their immigration status even though it was clear that they are illegals. cops gave ticket in some pseudo name they gave and they got away with no trace left. Your first post seemed asking only career wise successful folks who have patents/inovations and are affected by retrogression. I did write my story and then reread your first post, then thought to myself: my story is just similar to that Italian lady! The only thing different is she probably would have gotten her green card without much trouble, unlike my process. Dude, i dont even know who GCStatus is. If you want i can give my IP address. Dont spread false news here, saying that GCStatus and I are the same and we are sending message from Same Machine.
