A man accused of killing a Taylor resident struck by a hammer to the head is behind bars charged in that death as well as other offenses, police said.
The arrest June 3 stems from the slaying of Alfred Olguin Flores, 48, whose body was found about 5 p.m. May 3 outside his residence at 1004 Pierce St.
Olguin
Devin Olguin, 30, of Taylor, remained in the Williamson County Jail in Georgetown Friday charged with murder, smuggling of persons, theft between $750$2,500 and evading arrest in a vehicle.
A bond amount was not set, according to county records. Olguin is a cousin of the victim, police said.
Olguin was taken into custody in Georgetown by a federal marshal’s task force, according to Taylor officials.
According to an arrest affidavit, a fight broke out between Flores and another man between the latenight hours of May 2 and the early morning hours of May 3 at the victim’s residence.
During the scuffle, Flores tackled the other man before the latter grabbed a hammer and hit the victim in the head with the object, according to the affidavit.
After the altercation, the assailant called an associate and requested a ride to a hotel in the 2000 block of West Second Street, where he reportedly took a shower and changed clothes, according to court records.
Following a brief stay at the hotel, the attacker asked to be taken to his brother’s residence in Georgetown.
According to the affidavit, the man put his previously worn clothing in a plastic bag and requested an acquaintance to take the items to an undisclosed location and burn them.
The victim’s body was discovered under a tent-like structure outside the home, according to investigators.
In addition to Taylor police, federal marshals and Williamson County Emergency Medical Services, other agencies assisting in the case included the Texas Rangers, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit, the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office and the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Williamson County Associate Judge John McMillin signed the warrant.
Flores’ funeral was May 11 at Providence Funeral Home.
