Arthur Cantu Jr., 37, of Abilene, Texas, was fatally shot on his front porch in the 2400 block of Hardy Street on June 25, 2018, after an argument with George Almanza, 47, the estranged husband of Cantu’s girlfriend. The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m.; witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots. Cantu, who lived at the home, was shot in the head with what police believe was a 12-gauge shotgun.

Almanza was arrested, charged with murder and indicted by a Taylor County grand jury. He was found just after midnight at Hendrick Medical Center and later confessed, saying the shooting resulted from a domestic disturbance. Authorities say Almanza had made several death threats against Cantu in the days before the killing. The shotgun has not been recovered; investigators executed a search warrant on Almanza’s vehicle.

Anyone who knew Arthur, the people involved, or who witnessed the incident is asked to come forward with information.
