One week after shots first rang out in a Salem parking lot, police have arrested a private security guard Friday afternoon on suspicion murder.

Gregory Capwell, 33, of Salem, is accused of shooting and killing Jose Francisco Moreno, 25, in the parking lot of the Best Western Plus Mill Creek on July 22.

Officers were dispatched to the lot off of Ryan Drive SE around 3:26 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting involving a private security guard and another subject, according to Salem Police.

They found Moreno, shot and bleeding, in the parking lot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Capwell, a private security guard employed by Homefront Security, was at the scene when officers responded.

Salem police officials said they arrested Capwell after an extensive investigation that included multiple interviews, review of video surveillance and consultation with the Marion County District Attorney's Office.

Police declined to comment further on how the shooting unfolded and what specifically led them to arrest Capwell.

Officials with Homefront Security, a Salem based security company, were not immediately available for comment. Their services are described online as having "professional courteous well-trained officers both armed and unarmed to accommodate our clients' needs."

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, which sets the standards for armed security professionals, lists Capwell as a having a reinstated armed/unarmed professional certificate. His certifications trace back to 2010, and he is listed as an employee or former employee of several local security companies.

According to the DPSST, armed professionals must "be of good moral fitness as determined by a criminal background check, department investigation or other reliable sources."

Capwell was previously arrested on fourth-degree assault, reckless driving and reckless endangerment charges in 2011. He was convicted of reckless driving, sentenced to two years probation and ordered to attend anger management classes.

He was also convicted of reckless driving in 2004 and of reckless driving, speeding and speed racing on a highway in 2009.

Capwell was acquitted of the assault and reckless endangerment charges. Had he been convicted, he may have been unable to be licensed to carry a gun as a security guard.

Misdemeanors like fourth-degree assault and reckless endangerment are 10-year disqualifiers for professionals. More serious, felony convictions like domestic violence assault and murder are lifetime disqualifiers.

Armed security guards are required to undergo 38 hours of basic unarmed and firearms courses as well as a yearly refresher course. Professionals must take gun safety and marksmanship exams.

On Friday, Capwell was taken to Marion County jail and held without bail. He is scheduled to appear in court at 3 p.m. on July 31.
