HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Nearly three years after a Marine veteran’s body was found inside a burning vehicle in southwest Houston, court records show an arrest has been made in connection with the case.<\/p>\n

The video above is from a previous report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Records show Steven Henry has been charged with arson and tampering with physical evidence in the death of 39-year-old Adrean Arrington.<\/p>\n

In December 2023, police said Arrington’s body was found with a gunshot wound to the head inside the trunk of a burning vehicle on Nelson Street.<\/p>\n

In the days following the discovery, Arrington’s family spoke with ABC13 and pleaded for answers to his murder.<\/p>\n

Now, Henry has been charged in the case. It wasn’t immediately disclosed how he was tied to the case or if any more charges are expected.<\/p>\n
