On Wednesday, members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSTF) arrested 28-year-old Darwin Samir Salinas-Martinez, aka “Condon,” in connection with the shooting death of 30-year-old Lowen Alberto Ordonez Lobo outside The Villas Del Sol apartments on Rutland Drive in North Austin on April 28, 2024.
LSTF learned that Salinas-Martinez was residing at an apartment complex in the 4400 block of Airport Boulevard, and arrested him following a brief barricade. He was subsequently booked in the Travis County Jail.
