SAN ANTONIO — An arrest has been made in a 2007 murder after a suspect confessed, according to an affidavit.
According to an arrest warrant for Lara Rae Selders, a witness in the 2007 murder of Blasé Wright identified her as the driver of the car that drove away from the scene. Selders was listed in the original case file as a person of interest who was never interviewed.
Selders admitted that she was the driver on February 2, 2007, when Wright was killed in an apparent robbery.
Based on her confession, the warrant states that she committed capital murder.
According to the affidavit, Selders told authorities her boyfriend at the time admitted to shooting Wright.
Authorities interviewed the man, who did not deny he was at the scene on the night of the homicide. Authorities say he was not concerned in the next step of the investigation, even if it was a warrant for his arrest.
A Wright family spokesperson said "We would like to have the time to process this as we are experiencing many emotions. As you can imagine, this is a bittersweet moment for us as a family."
