Raudel Orozco, 20, Rolando Orozco, 22, and Jody Duron, 19, have been charged with murder in connection with the death of 29-year-old Luis Casillas, the Houston Police Department announced in a press release Wednesday. Police said the Orozcos are brothers but did not identify who shot Casillas.

Casillas' brother informed police that Casillas told him he got into an argument with the owner of a truck after they supposedly refused to pay a $500 repair bill, according to court documents obtained by ABC 13, KHOU 11 and KTVU.

According to witnesses, that's when the truck's owner, who was there with a group of men, allegedly pulled out an AK-47-style rifle and opened fire at Casillas, who was also confronted by another suspect at the other end of the building, ABC 13 reports, citing the court papers.

Casillas, a father-of-two, reportedly begged for his life as shots rang out, according to KHOU 11. The suspects then allegedly fled the scene.
