SAN ANGELO – San Angelo Police Friday night arrested a suspect on a charge of Capital Murder.  

According to arrest records from the Tom Green County Jail, 21-year-old Mykah Saldivar was arrested by San Angelo Police officers at 6:53 p.m. Friday, July 15, 2022. 

Saldivar is charged with Capital Murder by Terroristic Threat/Other Felony.

Capital murder involves murder plus some type of aggravating circumstance, such as murdering a police officer or firefighter while they are on duty, murdering a person while committing another felony like rape or abduction, or murdering a child. Each state has its own criteria for when capital murder is charged.

In Texas, capital murder is punishable by life in prison without parole or death.  

Saldivar is currently being held without bond in the Tom Green County Jail.  

No details of this case have been released by authorities at this time.
