Suspect wanted in arrest warrant taken into custody
HOUSTON – An investigation is underway at a east Harris County motel after a man’s body was discovered Wednesday by Pct. 3 deputies.
The discovery was made at Deluxe Inn & Suites, located in the 15800 block of the East Freeway.
Pct. 3 deputies were preparing to do an arrest warrant at a motel room but noticed bullet holes in another motel room window. Once they got permission to enter, “they stumbled” on the man’s body “by accident,” according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The man was found in the back bathroom, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. It is unknown when the man checked into the room.
Detectives said a possible fight happened between at least three people outside of the victim’s room while he was inside Tuesday night.
The victim has been identified as 33-year-old Jorge Gonzalez.
The motel has been known for being a hotspot for drug trafficking, according to HCSO.
The person wanted in the arrest warrant was taken into custody on an out-of-state case, according to Harris County Constable Pct. 3 Office.
As of right now, detectives said there are no indications there’s a connection between the victim and the wanted suspect.
