Investigators said Houston was shot multiple times, possibly over a verbal disagreement on Dec. 20.

"Those cowards shot my son in the back four times," Alanka Houston, the victim's mother, told ABC13 as she recalled the excruciating details.

Sanders was booked in the Harris County Jail.

No other suspects will face charges in this case.
