INDIO, CA — A murder charge was filed Friday against a 38-year-old man accused of shooting a motorist found inside a crashed vehicle in Indio.
Miguel Mejia Cazarez of Indio was arrested Wednesday, a day after allegedly gunning down 39-year-old Jose Luis Villegas III of Mecca.
Along with the murder count, Cazarez is charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run and faces a sentence-enhancing allegation of discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury.
