A man has been arrested and charged with a shooting that killed a man at a Houston gas station nearly two weeks ago.

Micheal Sean Pace, 21, was charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Johnathan Boyd, 35, at a gas station located at 3755 North MacGregor Way. The incident occurred just before 6 p.m. on Feb. 16.

Houston Police Department officers responded to the shooting call at the gas station and discovered an unresponsive man with a gunshot wound lying on the ground next to the gas pumps.

Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the male, later identified as Boyd, dead at the scene.

The preliminary investigation revealed that Boyd got into an argument with an unknown suspect—now believed to be Pace—which escalated into a physical altercation and resulted in Boyd being shot. The suspect then fled the scene in a white Nissan Altima with black rims.

Further investigation led authorities to identify Pace as the suspect. He was charged on Feb. 25 and subsequently arrested on Feb. 27 by members of the U.S. Marshals Service in Blue Springs, Missouri.

Pace was booked into the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center and will be extradited back to Harris County.
