Firefighters responding to a blaze in a San Antonio, Texas, apartment found the burned remains of a 20-year-old man who had been missing for three days, authorities said Monday.
A medical examiner’s office identified the body as that of Jared Vargas, the San Antonio Express News reported.
An investigation led authorities to charge Ernesto Esquivel-Garcia, 20, a co-worker of Vargas', in connection with the death.
The suspect, who was reportedly a former co-worker of the dead man, may be living in the U.S. illegally and is being investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, San Antonio's Fox 29 reported.
