According to police, Archangel and another man committed the armed robbery 45 minutes after they shot and killed Javier Flores, 18, as they tried to rob another Subway restaurant in the 3900 block of Broadway Street.

Archangel posted a $30,000 bond, and is exected to appear in court later this month.

Flores was working at the Subway restaurant with his mother, and was closing for the night when two men came in with guns and demanded money.

When one of the men pointed a gun at Flores’ mother, he stepped between them, and pushed her out of the way.

Flores was shot once in the neck as he turned to run from the man with the gun, and died a short time later at Ben Taub Hospital.

Police released a sketch of the alleged shooter, as well as surveillance video from the second armed robbery, the day after the shooting.

No one has been charged in the Flores killing.
