Zaruba further followed West out of the establishment, continuing to shoot seven more times at West. Two parked cars and an occupied home across the street were also hit by bullets.

Zaruba was taken into custody at the Sedona Ranch Apartments after dropping his phone at the scene.

Zaruba was booked in the Tom Green County Detention Center on Sept. 29 and has a bond set at $600,533. He was previously charged with minor in possession of cigarette or tobacco and failed to appear on Sept. 20.
