Barrientes called police after he was shot and Caballero was found at a restaurant, only a half a mile away from campus, in a maroon Chevy Impala along with Alexis Jones, 18, and the two were arrested.

There were two firearms and marijuana found in the car and according to police one of the firearms was stolen during a car burglary the day before.

Caballero was charged with aggravated assault, theft of a firearm and possession of marijuana; he also had two warrants for drug related charges. His bail was set to $126,750.

Jones was charged with possession of marijuana but was later released on a $750 bail.
