Houston police said a group of people got into an argument in a home on Van Fleet Street near Jutland Road at 1 a.m. Friday.
Investigators said Johnathan Renard Castaneda, 25, used all types of objects in the home to beat the two women and two men.

Police said Baron Keith Armstrong died from his injuries.
