Bee County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information that could lead to an arrest and grand jury conviction of suspects involved in two unsolved murders that took place in Beeville.

Police have an outstanding arrest warrant in the first case, a murder that took place on Jan. 10, 1981, at the former Zebra Lounge at 805 W. Corpus Christi St.

That night José Angel Villa allegedly shot José Luis Garcia and killed him.

Beeville Police Department Chief Joe Treviño said Villa would be 53 years old now.

He has been on the run for almost 30 years, the chief said, but he still has family in Beeville and he may return occasionally.

Villa is believed to spend time in either Texas, Mexico or both.

Police have no suspects in the second murder case.

That investigation stems from an incident that took place on Aug. 6, 2005, at a home at 901 E. Anderson St.

According to witnesses in the home at the time, two masked men entered the residence with guns drawn and one man held his firearm on people the two encountered in the front of the house.

The other intruder walked to a bedroom at the back of the house and shot Larry Lee Anzaldua to death.

The men then fled the scene.

Anybody who has information that might help BPD investigators solve either case may contact BCCS at 362-0206 or call toll free to (877) 362-2006.
