Authorities in Live Oak, Texas arrested two suspects in connection with the gruesome murder of a man late last year.

Investigators said that Matthew Pacheco-McKinney was shot during a fight with Justin Hunt at the suspect's home on Montgomery Drive in November.

Hunt then “tied up, tortured, and injected [the victim] with bleach” leaving him to die. The second suspect, identified as Noel Desselle, placed Pacheco-McKinney's body in a trash can and dumped it behind a vacant building on O'Connor Road on December 7.
