It looks like the “person of interest” that police said was in custody was the guy they were looking for because he has been charged in the execution-style murder of a Sheriff’s Deputy in Houston.
BREAKING: Sheriff's office: Suspect arrested, to be charged in killing of deputy in Houston suburb.

We reported the murder very soon after it happened here, and also when the suspect was captured here.
They played it down early on after the suspect was captured:
Earlier, spokesman Deputy Thomas Gilliland said officials were speaking with a person of interest in connection with the shooting and have obtained a search warrant for the two-story brick home where the person lives. No arrests have been made, Gilliland said.
Nine patrol cars, including one with the words “crime scene unit” on the side of the vehicle, were parked near the home, which is about a quarter-mile from the gas station in Copperfield, a middle-class to upper middle-class area of Harris County that is unincorporated.
Police described the suspect as a male with a dark complexion, about 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, wearing a white T-shirt and red shorts and driving a red or maroon pickup-style truck with an extended cab. Authorities did not say what race they believe him to be.
Goforth was a 10-year veteran of the force, had a wife and two children, Hickman said.
But it looks like they think they captured the scumbag. It’ll be interesting to find out if he had any “Black Lives Matter” sympathies, but even if that’s the case, you can bet the media won’t care to report it.
