The brother of The Bachelorette star Ivan Hall has been charged with murder.
Gabriel Hall was arrested in October for the murder of Carlos Veliz Jr. in Abilene, Texas, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.
Police say Hall and Veliz were embroiled in a verbal argument at around 1:30am on August 31.
The row allegedly ended with Hall shooting Veliz in the head, killing him.
Cops say they were able to connect Hall to the crime by using surveillance footage in the area, which linked a car he was renting to the scene.
They also claim to have found a spent shell casing in the car and evidence of gunshot residue on Hall’s hands and clothes.
