A man arrested as a suspect in the fatal stabbing of an 11-year-old Houston boy had been sought by police the day before after a fight that drew the attention of transit system police officers.

In the meantime, Calhoun will remain in custody where he is being held on assault as well as evading arrest charges – stemming from an incident the night before.
Josue Flores was walking home from school Tuesday in the 1900 block of Fulton Street when he was randomly attacked, police said.
Someone who saw the suspect described him as a black man, 25 to 30 years old, 6 feet tall, 180 to 220 lbs., black shirt, black trousers and a green jacket.
Police have said Josue was stabbed Tuesday in an unprovoked attack.
Che Calhoun, 31, was captured without incident Wednesday afternoon by USA marshals in southeast Houston.
Houston Police said investigators interviewed Calhoun, who said it was impossible for him to be the boy’s killer as he was in Pearland at the time of the crime. “We’re going to do what we need to do to resolve this”.
But again, this memorial continues to grow, and there will be a memorial at 2 p.m. Friday at Josue’s school, Marshall Middle School. Police said physical evidence collected later backed up this alibi. “But I believe that our officers did everything they could do apprehend the suspect, And I don’t think that they slacked in any way in trying to apprehend him”, she said. A neighbor chased the attacker in his auto but lost him after the man crossed some railroad tracks, she said.

“Look at what happened to his little angel, this little boy”, she said, crying as she recalled the scene.
