Officials said the body of Frank Lara was eventually found in Bandera, weeks after news of his disappearance. After gathering information from witnesses, detectives found and arrested Jason Davis "without incident" on charges of murder, but officials added that another suspect, Christian Macias will also face charges in connection to Lara's case. 

According to court documents, during an interview with police, the victim's girlfriend, who is also Macias's cousin, told police that Macias had come to her and told her what he had done to Lara after he turned up missing. 

According to the affidavit, Macias told his cousin that he and Davis were in Davis's car when Macias shot Lara. Macias reportedly told his cousin that they placed Lara's body in the trunk of the car before a third, unnamed person helped hide the body. 

Following Lara's death, Macias' cousin saw photographs of Macias and Davis with Lara's personal property. 

Both Christian Macias and Jason Davis have been charged with the murder of Frank Lara.
