Two people were arrested in Texas Friday in connection to a murder last month in Norristown according to the Montgomery County District Attorney.

Erick Galo-Ponce, 20, and Ana Gonzalez-Munguia, 20, both of Norristown, were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Harris County, Texas for second-degree murder, conspiracy, theft by unlawful taking, access device fraud, conspiracy, receiving stolen property and other charges in relation to the death of Nilson Velazquez-Cardona, 23, of Woodhaven, N.Y.

Norristown police went to the area of Stony Creek Office Center on Dec. 17 after reports of a man dead under the Stony Creek Bridge, officials say. The man didn't have any identification such as a wallet or cell phone when found by the police.
