DOTHAN, Ala. – A missing Houston County man’s body was found in a shallow grave in the northeastern part of Holmes County, near the Jackson County line Tuesday, according to law enforcement.
Holmes County Sheriff’s investigators identified the body as Raul Ambriz Guillen, who had been last seen in Dothan and Holmes County on July 4. Guillen had been shot, killed, and buried on Kirkland Road in Holmes County about seven miles from the Alabama state line. Investigators believe Guillen was killed sometime between July 4 and 6.
Three people have been charged with Guillen’s murder: Lauren Wambles, 23, of Dothan; William Shane Parker, 35, of Houston County; and Jeremy Peters, 43, of Holmes County, according to Holmes County Sheriff John Tate.
Wambles is charged with principal to murder. Peters is charged with accessory after the fact of murder. Parker, who police believe is the shooter, is charged with one open count of murder.
This case is ongoing and additional charges and additional arrests could be forthcoming, Tate said.
Multiple law enforcement agencies have assisted in locating Guillen. His missing person case actually began in Jackson County after a victim of a sexual abuse case confided in law enforcement that Parker was the suspect in her abuse case, and later shared tips related to Guillen’s murder. Guillen was a roommate of the sexual abuse victim and her husband, who were not identified.
