More than a year after skeletal remains were discovered in the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt, Austin police have arrested a second suspect in connection with the case.
Court documents reveal that 33-year-old Tyler Steven Lompe allegedly assisted Melcom Lee in disposing of the body of Jehu Flores following a violent altercation.
Lee was initially arrested in December 2023 after confessing to shooting Flores in the head. He was charged with murder at the time. Now, Lompe has been booked into the Travis County Jail, facing charges of tampering with human remains for his alleged role in concealing the crime.
Authorities continue to investigate the case as new details emerge. This latest arrest sheds further light on the disturbing events surrounding the South Austin murder, bringing the case one step closer to justice.
