As the three victims were leaving the bar, Gallegos allegedly opened fire on them, killing Ochoa and wounding the two men.
Gallegos was last seen in Mexico six years ago, according to Round Rock police. Two other persons of interest, 70-year-old Juan Guerrero and 61-year-old Guadalupe Morales, are also wanted for questioning.

Police are reopening the case after a change in international extradition policy.
