Fired Employee Is Arrested in Shooting Deaths of 5 at Texas Car Wash
Police on Tuesday arrested a fired car wash employee suspected of murdering five former co-workers and critically wounding a sixth during a holdup at the business.
Robert Wayne Harris, 28, was arrested without incident at a home in Dallas, police said. He was arraigned Tuesday afternoon on a charge of capital murder and was being held in the Irving jail without bond.
All six victims in the shooting Monday morning were employees of the Mi-T-Fine Car Wash.
Harris had been fired from the car wash on Friday after he was arrested on charges he exposed himself to two women at the business. He was freed Sunday on $500 bail.
Police said robbery was a motive; all of the victims’ wallets were missing. Police spokesman David Tull would not say whether Harris had any stolen items.
