Ventura was found at 725 Allston Street about 1:45 p.m. on Jan. 25. Houston police officers responded that day to a report of a male found lying on the floor of his home on Allston.
Ventura had apparently suffered apparent blunt force trauma to the head, according to Houston police. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Further investigation identified Quintanilla-Duran as the suspect, police said. On Monday, Quintanilla-Duran was arrested without incident.
