Egwu’s arrest comes nearly 10 months after Manor officers responding to a welfare check found Donald McVade dead in his home in the 500 block of Llano Street.
Police said at the time that McVade had not been seen since Sept. 23, 2025, and that officers discovered him with obvious trauma to his body on the morning of Sept. 25 after arriving at his residence.
The Manor Police Department said its Criminal Investigations Division, along with patrol officers and evidence and crime scene personnel, worked to identify a suspect in the case. An arrest warrant for Egwu was issued July 13.
Police credited the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office, the Travis County District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service for their assistance in the investigation.
