DALLAS - On April 3, 2022, Dallas Police responded to 1330 Kings Highway for a call regarding a body in the alleyway. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded and located the male victim who had also been burned. The victim has been identified as 52-year-old Anthony Moreno.
A preliminary investigation has determined that early on April 3, Tellez stabbed Moreno multiple times in an alley behind 1330 Kings Highway, killing Moreno. Tellez left the scene, changed clothing, and then returned to the scene where he poured gasoline on the victim, then lit his body on fire.
Tellez was taken into custody by Southwest CRT and Deployment. He was transported to Police Headquarters to be interviewed, then to Dallas County Jail.
“I was deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of life that occurred in Oak Cliff on Sunday. Our hearts go out to Anthony Moreno’s family as they navigate this difficult time. I ask that neighbors please respect the family’s privacy during their grieving and throughout the criminal investigation process.“
