After over a year of investigation, 22-year-old Kalen Fortuna has been charged with capital murder for the death of 27-year-old Joshua Muniz in Bay City. Fortuna was transferred from a Florida jail, where he was held on unrelated charges, to the Matagorda County Jail. On June 6, ’23, authorities responded to Cypress Avenue after reports of gunfire and found Muniz shot multiple times inside a burning home. Investigators determined the fire was arson. Fortuna’s bond is set at $2 million, and he could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.
