Two Houston men have been charged with murder, accused of setting up a fake Facebook account to lure another man to a Sharpstown park where he was killed in December.

Frank Marinero, 23, and Jose Luis Hernandez, 22, are both behind bars on $50,000 bail.

Marinero's attorney, Emily Detoto, is trying to get a lower bail for her client and said she believes he has an alibi for where he was during the Dec. 27 shooting.

"My client has no prior criminal history," Detoto said. "We're trying to get him bonded out, so hopefully we can produce evidence that shows he was nowhere near the park."

Marinero and Hernandez are accused of creating a fake online profile for a woman, then using it persuade Bryan Blanco to go to the park where he was fatally shot, according to court records.

Blanco and Marinero had apparently dated the same woman, court documents show.

"The alleged motive is apparently jealousy," Detoto said.
