Investigators said the father of the carjacking victim tracked the car and confronted the suspect, leading to the shooting, the sheriff's office said.
Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman says that the wanted suspect, James Willis, is facing charges of family violence, evading arrest, and carjacking.
Police said the suspect caused a deadly four-vehicle crash, fired shots into the air, and carjacked multiple drivers before his arrest Friday morning.
Eight years after a Houston husband and father was shot to death, investigators say they have finally arrested one of the suspects connected to the case.
Deputies said this all started with a suspect carjacking a woman at gunpoint at Aldine Mail Road. When the car was spotted, a chase ensued, triggering a chain of events that spanned different parts of the county and city.
Initially, officers were called to reports of a carjacking. During that investigation, they learned that after that scene, one of the suspects tried robbing a young father, but was shot in the process.
