HOUSTON (AP) —
La policía de Texas está buscando a un hombre de 23 años sospechoso de haber matado a disparos a su novia y su hija pequeña en su casa de Houston. Ambas recibieron varios balazos el viernes por la mañana y murieron en el lugar. Mercado fue encontrada sosteniendo todavía a la niña.
Las autoridades dicen que la puerta principal de la casa fue forzada.
En un comunicado, las autoridades dijeron el lunes que Jonathan Figueroa es acusado de la muerte de Verónica Mercado, de 26 años, y su hija Linette Cano, quien habría cumplido 2 años a finales de este mes.
Los investigadores creen que Figueroa viajaba a la frontera con México en un Ford Taurus marrón.
La policía dijo anteriormente que estaba buscando al novio de Mercado y que la pareja tenía antecedentes de violencia doméstica.
SUGAR LAND, Texas (AP) —
An alligator dubbed Godzilla who tips the scales at more than 800 pounds is being taken to a gator reserve to live out its days, after being found wandering outside a Houston-area shopping center.
Godzilla was discovered Saturday by people arriving for work at the center in Sugar Land. It's believed he wandered over to the plaza from a nearby creek.
Christy Kroboth is licensed by the state as a "nuisance alligator trapper." She was called to help subdue Godzilla and cart him away.
She says once he was muzzled and restrained, a forklift was borrowed from Home Depot to load him onto a truck.
Kroboth says Godzilla is blind in one eye and has only partial sight in the other. He's going to the reserve for his safety.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) —
Authorities in South Texas say a U.S. Border Patrol agent has been charged in connection with the death of a man whose decapitated body was found floating near South Padre Island.
Joel Luna remained jailed without bond Friday after being charged with capital murder, engaging in organized criminal activity and tampering with evidence.
Jail records didn't list an attorney for the 30-year-old Luna.
Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio says the arrest of four individuals after the body was found in March led investigators to Luna, who was arrested Thursday at his home in Hebbronville.
Lucio says authorities found a safe at the home that contained nearly $90,000, around a kilo of cocaine and several handguns.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Luna has been placed on administrative leave.
