Officers were called to the 500 block of Evelyn Street in La Pryor around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday for a possible stabbing. Deputies with the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office were told that the victim was at a New Year’s party at the location.
The Zavala County Sheriff’s Office said both suspects, who were not invited, arrived to the party and called out the victim, identified as Abel Longoria.
The argument led to a fight between the suspects and victim, who was then stabbed in his left armpit, ZCSO said.
Officials said a major artery was cut and Longoria bled to death.
The victim and suspects were acquaintances, ZCSO said.
David and Daniel Castillo have both been released on bond.
