Police ID suspect fatally shot during burglary

Authorities on Wednesday identified a burglary suspect who was fatally shot the day before by a tire shop owner as Wilfredo Muro, 21, of Garland.

About 8 p.m. Tuesday, the owner of Longhorn Tire & Wheel at 10801 Ferguson Road at Shiloh Road shot Mr. Muro while checking out a tripped burglar alarm at the shop, police said.

Mr. Muro died in Baylor University Medical Center's emergency room. Authorities plan to refer the case to a grand jury to determine if the shooting was justified. Police said the shop had been burglarized several times in the past, but it's unclear whether Mr. Muro was a suspect in those cases.

Records show that Mr. Muro has a previous arrest on a charge of misdemeanor theft.
