CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A second man is in jail, accused of murdering a 21-year-old man.

Investigators received information about another suspect, 19-year-old Jason Ortiz, who was found outside of a bail bond company.

Officers met Ortiz, and he was taken into custody. Ortiz was charged with murder, and his bond was set at $150,000.

Corpus Christi police say they are still investigating a homicide in which 21-year-old Damian Buch was found dead inside an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Brett Street on March 4.

Two days after Buch's body was discovered, police arrested Detavion Falkquay in McAllen.

Police have not release a motive for the killing yet.
