Overview
- Felix Santos-Colon Jr., 46, was arrested and charged Saturday in the killing of 44-year-old Oscar Traviezo-Tercero, according to Montgomery County prosecutors.
- A passerby discovered Traviezo-Tercero’s body on Nov. 10 inside a trash can off the trail after noticing a foul odor, with bicycle parts found nearby.
- An autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, with multiple skull fractures, and ruled the case a homicide.
- Surveillance video from Nov. 5 shows Santos-Colon and another man moving a heavy trash bin later linked to the body; the helper told police he did not know the contents and has not been charged.
- Detectives say Santos-Colon confessed in a criminal complaint and identified a baseball bat as the weapon, and he is being held without bail on first-degree murder and related charges.
