MERIDIAN (October 27, 2009)--Two juveniles, one a 14-year-old boy, the other a 16-year-old girl, have been ordered to remain in detention pending additional legal issues in connection with the murder of a Clifton man last month.

The Bosque County attorney has filed a petition to have both juveniles certified as adults to stand trial for capital murder in the death of Arturo Chavez, 57, of Clifton, who was gunned down Sept. 23 in a Clifton city park during a robbery.

A certification hearing must be held in the 220th State District Court before Judge James Morgan, but a date has not yet been announced.

If the teens were certified as adults, however, neither would be eligible for the death penalty because of their ages.

The two teenagers were arrested in September and charged, along with Angelica Nieto, 23, Jennifer Dunn, 22, Pedro Ramirez III, 22, all of Clifton.

The gun used in the killing has been recovered, authorities said.

Attorneys have been appointed for both of the teenagers.

Both teens are held at an undisclosed juvenile detention facility in north-central Texas.

Sources have confirmed the two teenagers are Clifton High School students.

Bonds for the three adults were set at $750,000 each.

Hector Quintero discovered the victim's body after the headlights of his car flashed across the park Wednesday night and illuminated a truck with a body lying next to it.

He told News 10 Chavez was well known in the neighborhood because he used to give local children candy and play with them at the park.

Quintero was recently laid off from a job and said Chavez was trying to help him find employment.

One of the five people charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a Clifton man whose was found late last Wednesday night in a popular town park told police investigators the plan was to lure the victim to a popular Clifton town park and rob him.

A 16-year-old girl, a 14-year old boy, Angelica Nieto, 23, Jennifer Dunn, 22 and Pedro Ramirez III, 22, are charged in the shooting death of Arturo Chavez, 57.

All five were arrested early the next day after Dunn waived her right to an attorney and told investigators what had happened, according to an arrest warrant affidavit released Tuesday.
