EDINBURG - The Hidalgo County sheriff says a man's murder was the result of an intense sibling rivalry. Lupe Trevino says the hostility dated back to 2007.
According to investigators, Zachariah Hooper already had a violent run-in with his 23-year-old brother, Jeremiah. But authorities say the situation turned deadly yesterday morning.
Investigators tell us the two argued over who would use the restroom first. Zachariah Hooper allegedly grabbed a gun and shot his brother in the neck. Jeremiah Hooper later died at the hospital.
Zachariah Hooper is now charged with murder. The 20-year-old stayed silent and showed little emotion as he was charged with the crime.
According to the sheriff, Zachariah Hooper is not cooperating with the investigation.
"He lawyered up and clammed up," explains Trevino. "We will just work with the evidence gathered at the scene and witness statements."
CHANNEL 5 NEWS learned Hooper's mother works at the Hidalgo County jail. She isn't expected to come into contact with her son, since she works in female housing areas.
Zachariah Hooper remains behind bars tonight. He's being held on a $350,000 bond.
