Houston Police arrested a man after the murder of an 11-year-old boy who was walking home from an after-school meeting. Jackson was booked on $100,000 bond.

Police say they still do not know the motive. How the man came to arrive at the shelter has yet to be necessarily understood. A team descended upon a north side Salvation Army yesterday, collecting evidence a day after HPD released clear surveillance images of a man with unique shoes and jacket who could be seen on video running near the crime scene within minutes of Flores’ murder. Jackson had the jacket with him when he was arrested, McGalin added. A man in the video can be seen running near where the boy was stabbed.
Several witnesses told officers they heard loud screaming and saw sixth grader Josue Flores struggling with a man. The boy collapsed on the grass near the sidewalk and the man ran off. “We pieced it together”.
