I STATE OF TEXAS AFFIDAVIT FOR ARREST WARRANT COUNTY OF DALLAS

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared the undersigned affiant who, after being duly sworn
by me, on oath stated: My name is E. Montenegro #6991 and I am a peace officer of the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.
I, the affiant, have good reason and do believe that on or about the 10th day of March, 20 17, one (name of suspect) RISER.
Bryan, Keon did then and there in the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas commit the offense of Capital Mw·der, a violation
of Section 19.03 of the Texas Penal Code, a Capital Felony.

Affiant's belief is based upon the following facts and information which Affiant received from:
[8J Affiant's personal investigation of this alleged offense.
0 __, a fellow peace officer of the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, who personally participated in the investigation
of this alleged offense, providing this information to Affiant, and whose information Affiant believes to be credible.

On Friday, March 10, 2017, at about 11 :39 p.m., Dallas Police Officers responded to 200 Santa Fe Avenue, Dallas, Texas, [Trinity River]
regarding a dead female in the water. The dead female, later identified as Liza Saenz, had been shot multiple times.

During the course of this investigation, three suspects were identified and arrested for their participation in the kidnapping and killing of
Complainant Saenz. Charges of Capital Murder have been filed on the three individuals involved in the participation and killing of
Complainant Saenz. Due to the sensitive nature of this case those individuals will not be named but will be referred to as Witness, Associate
#1, and Associate #2.

On August, 12, 2019, Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Trey Stock informed Detective Montenegro, #6991, that the Witness, who at the
time was a suspect in the Capital Murder of Complainant Saenz wanted to come forward with information regarding Suspect Bryan Riser's
participation and involvement in the Capital Murder case of Complainant Saenz. Arrangements were made with the witness' attorney to
have the Witness transported to Dallas Police Headquarters to be interviewed. Providing detailed information of the Witness could put the
Witness in immediate danger. The assistance of the FBI-Public Corruption Unit was requested.

On August 14, 2019, the witness was transported to Dallas Police Headquarters from the Dallas County Jail with the assistance of the
United States Marshals Service. Detective Montenegro read the Witness' Miranda Warning in the presence of the attorney. The Witness
waived his rights and agreed to talk to Detective Montenegro in the presence of his attorney. The Witness incriminated Suspect Riser in
connection with the death of Complainant Saenz and with the kidnapping and killing of a second victim, Complainant Albert Douglas.

The Witness lost communication with Suspect Riser; however, they reconnected in approximately 2013 . From that point, the Witness
and Suspect Riser began communicating back and forth via cell. During their communication, Suspect Riser contacted the Witness and
asked him [Witness] ifhe was still doing the things that they were doing when they were young [referring to the licks and burglarizing] .
According to the Witness, Suspect Riser shared his plan with the Witness. The plan was that Suspect Riser would provide intelligence on
"spots" [drug houses] and the Witness and the Witness' crew would rob the drug houses. The arrangement and agreement were that if any
drugs were taken, the Witness would keep the drugs and if any money and guns were taken Suspect Riser would keep them. The Witness
stated that the plan did not materialize because Suspect Riser came to him [Witness] with another job, which consisted in the kidnapping
and killing of an individual.

The Witness and Suspect Riser met at various places during the planning phase of the murders of the Complainants. Such places included
a donut shop near Simpson Stuart and Bonnie View and at Miller Family Park located at 2800 Persimmons where they discussed the plan
to kidnap and kill Complainant Douglas. Suspect Riser provided the Witness with a physical description of Complainant Douglas and
where he could be located. The suspect drove the witness to the location where the Complainant Douglas was at and identified Complainant
Douglas as the person that Suspect Riser needed to be kidnapped and killed. They agreed on the amount of $3500.00 dollars for the
kidnapping and killing of Complainant Douglas.

Several days after the meeting with Suspect Riser, Complainant Douglas was located by the witness and Associate #1. The complainant
was stopped, handcuffed, and placed in Associate #1 's vehicle. Witness and Associate #1 drove Complainant Douglas to 200 Santa Fe
Avenue where Complainant Douglas was shot and killed. Complainant Douglas' body was dumped in the Trinity River. Several days
later according to the Witness, Suspect Riser went to Associate #1 's residence at ■■■■■■■l,o pay the agreed amount of $3500.00
dollars. This was later corroborated by a text message sent on February 21, 2017, from the Witness to Suspect Riser providing Associate
# I 's address

STATE OF TEXAS AFFIDAVIT FOR ARREST WARRANT COUNTY OF DALLAS

FBI research on Complainant Douglas showed that there was no longer proof oflife regarding Complainant Douglas. In addition, Detective
Montenegro has been in constant contact with Complainant Douglas' family and to date they have not heard from him.

The Witness stated that about two weeks after Complainant Douglas' murder, sometime in late February or early March 2017, Suspect
Riser called the Witness and gave him another job to have another individual kidnapped and killed. Suspect Riser provided the Witness
with a description and location where Complainant Saenz could be located. The same method of operation was used to locate and kill
Complainant Saenz. Suspect Riser also told the Witness that she was an "informant". Both Complainants were taken to the same area
where they were shot and killed and dumped in the Trinity River. Suspect Riser agreed to pay the Witness $6000.00; however, the agreed
amount was not paid because the Witness and his associates were arrested on other Capital Murder offenses.

Associate #1 was also questioned in the presence of his attorney and corroborated the witness accounts. Associate #1 admitted to his
participation in the kidnapping and killing of Complainant Douglas. Associate #1 stated that he did not know Suspect Riser; however,
Associate #1 was presented a 6-picture photo line-up that included a photograph of Suspect Riser. Associate #1 tentatively identified the
photograph of Suspect Riser along with another filler picture as the individual Associate # 1 had seen at his residence with the Witness.

On August 26, 2019, the Witness along with his attorney showed Detectives the route that Suspect Riser took when he [Suspect Riser]
drove the Witness to show him the location where Complainant Douglas frequented. The Witness pointed out several locations to
Detectives where he was driven by Suspect Riser. The Witness accounts were corroborated by the FBI cell phone analysis placing Suspect
Riser's cell phone in or about the area where the Witness was driven to and shown the location where Complainant Douglas frequented.

On August 27, 2019, Detective Curtis, #8341, and Detective Montenegro canvassed the area where the Witness pointed out the location
where Complainant Douglas was kidnapped from. Detectives spoke to the family members who confirmed that Complainant Douglas left
his residence in or about February 25, 2017, on his bicycle and never returned. A missing persons report was generated through missing
persons and their DNA was uploaded to CODIS and NAMUS with negative results. The missing person report generated by the
Complainant Douglas' family members is within the timeframe of the kidnapping accounting to the Witness accounts.

On October 9, 2019, Detective Montenegro received the preliminary Cell Site Location analysis performed by FBI. The analysis revealed
that the cell phones belonging to Suspect Riser and Witness placed them in or about the areas where the Witness stated he and Suspect
Riser met to plan the kidnapping and murders of the Complainants. In addition, Detectives uncovered bidirectional telephonic
communication between the Witness and Suspect Riser during the planning phase of the murders, which further corroborated the accounts
of the Witness.

During one of those calls, Detectives have learned that on March 13, 2017, Suspect Riser called in a tip regarding an unknown male
attempting to pass on information about the Walton and son murder. Suspect Riser denied knowing who the unknown male caller was. On
March 15, 2017, Detective Montenegro interviewed Suspect Riser because the Dallas County District Att~ rovided
Detective Montenegro with information that Complainant Saenz had lived with Suspect Riser's father at ~ the area
where Complainant Saenz was kidnapped from. During that interview, Suspect Riser once again denied knowing who the "unknown" male
caller was. Further investigation revealed that Suspect Riser knew who the "unknown" male caller was and appeared that Suspect Riser
attempted to deceive Detectives by concealing his knowledge of who the caller was.

Based on the above facts, I the Affiant, believe Suspect Riser directed the kidnapping and murders of Complainant Liza Saenz and
Complainant Albert Douglas. These facts include statements made by the Witness and Associate #1 in which the Witness claimed they
met at various locations to plan the murders which are corroborated by FBI cell phone analysis. Furthermore, the address of
where the agreed money was paid to the Witness found in a text message from the Witness to Suspect Riser further corroborates
the Witness accounts.

The body of Complainant Douglas has not been found or recovered.

Due to the sensitive and extensive nature of this case, the entire facts and evidence have not been included in this affidavit.

by me, on oath stated: My name is E. Montenegro #6991 and I am a peace officer of the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.
I, the affiant, have good reason and do believe that on or about the 25th day of February. 20 17, one (name of suspect) RISER,
