Navarro was with family celebrating her arrival to the United States when she was fatally shot, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Port Arthur Newsmedia.

According to the affidavit, a witness to the shooting had been having issues with an ex-boyfriend, who had been threatening her new boyfriend.

At a gathering, the new boyfriend was getting in his white GMC Sierra truck when a grey GMC Sierra truck identified as Chavez’s parked behind it.

Navarro was asked to sit in the white GMC to help ensure nothing happened to the witness’ boyfriend.

The witness told police Chavez then reportedly pulled up to the other man’s truck and fired into the driver’s side window several times before driving away.

Navarro was found dead in the truck.

Justice of the Peace Ben Collins Sr. signed a warrant for Chavez’s arrest with a $950,000 bond.

PAPD said Chavez had an address in Groves, and the Groves Police Department assisted in his search. Chavez also has ties in other towns, as well as Mexico, and officials are not ruling out the idea that he fled the country
