HOUSTON – A man identified as a suspect in a deadly shooting of a Houston security guard was arrested and charged with murder, Houston police said.
Saul Cruz, 71, was sitting in his marked car while working a shift as a security guard at the 4700 block of Anderson Street when two people armed with an AK-47 and a pistol approached his vehicle from behind. Authorities said the duo shot Cruz as he sat inside his vehicle.

One man, now-25-year-old Daniel Moreno, was arrested in December 2015. Police maintained that they believed now-24-year-old Justin Vasquez, was in Mexico.
Vasquez was taken into custody in Mexico and was placed in the Harris County Jail Monday.
