Round Rock Police Make Arrest Of Suspect Wanted In Robbery, Shooting Incident

ROUND ROCK, TX — Police have arrested a teenager for a convenience store robbery that occurred earlier this month, officials said Tuesday.

McKenzie Allen Marzett, 19, of Hutto, Texas, was arrested in connection to the May 10 robbery of a 7-11 store located at 2680 Gattis School Rd. A tip from a resident after police released surveillance photos led to the U.S. Marshalls Office to take Marzett into custody without incident in Tyler, Texas, police said.

During the morning of the robbery, two suspects entered the store. One of the suspects, identified as Anthony Rheinholtz, tried to take cigarettes from the store while the other suspect left the store. Rheinholtz remained in the store and got into a physical confrontation with the clerk.

A third suspect, identified as Robert Joseph Uribe, 18, fired several shots from the exterior of the store, police said. Rheinholtz was subsequently arrested for his involvement. On Tuesday, Pflugerville police officials said Uribe also has since been captured (see: Police Make Arrest In First Homicide Of 2017 In Pflugerville, Round Rock Link Found).

During a separate investigation into a shooting at the Red Hills Villas apartments, it was determined Marzett was involved in the shooting of two victims. Additional aggravated robbery charges now are pending for his involvement in that incident, officials said.

“We’re thankful for the full cooperation of the Pflugerville Police Department and many of our other law enforcement partners in safely locating the suspects involved and making sure that our community remains safe,” Police Chief Allen Banks said.

In a subsequent press conference, police provided more details about the crimes in explaining the links among them.

All the cases are still under investigation, officials said. They urged anyone with any information about the suspects or incidents to contact police at (512) 671-2709.

The Round Rock Police thanked several law enforcement agencies for assisting in the investigation that involved several jurisdictions, including the U.S. Marshals Office, Department of Public Safety, Texas
Rangers, Pflugerville Police Department, Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, and Williamson County Constable Precinct 4.
