Deputies responded at 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 9 to a report of a vehicle blocking a private driveway in the 7900 block of Linden Road. The caller reported a person was in the car, but they were faced down and not moving.
Deputies arrived and determined the man, later identified as Sneddon, to be deceased. A medical examiner determined the victim had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, according to TCSO.
A witness to the crime reported Huerta shot Sneddon through the windshield of his car after an argument, says TCSO.
Huerta was booked into the Travis County Jail on Jan. 13. Bail is set at $250,000.
TCSO is asking for the public's help in investigating this incident.
