HOUSTON -- A man accused of killing a 13-year-old girl during a road rage incident is out of jail and has been given conditions for his release, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.
Houston police said Richard Calderon, 24, hit the teen's mother's car at about 8:20 p.m. Wednesday and then left the scene.
The mother, a police officer at Texas Southern University, tried to catch up to the vehicle to get its license plate number. As she drove by the vehicle in the 14000 block of Fleetwell Drive, Calderon fired shots at her car, police said.
Alexis Wiley, 13, was shot in the head. She was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she died a few hours later.
Alexis was a student at Johnston Middle School. The school brought in crisis counselors to help students and teachers deal with their grief.
Police said Calderon confessed to the shooting and was charged with murder. He bonded out of jail late Thursday and went before a judge Friday morning.
Calderon was ordered to turn his license to carry a handgun and was ordered to surrender all of his weapons. He was also told to not have any contact with Wiley's family.
