Gonzalez's alleged accomplice was never charged. In his confession, which he gave after about 13 hours in custody, Gonzalez said he was driving when the man — whose name Gonzalez never learned — asked him for a ride to a bar, according to court records. Gonzalez's confession says he decided instead that they should stop at his girlfriend's sister's apartment. They rang the door buzzer and the victim, whom Gonzalez did not know, came to the door, his confession states.
