On Friday, Angel Lagos-Martinez, 20, was charged with murder for the Jan. 14 fatal shooting of Leonidas Ayesta-Carias, 29. On that day, Ayesta-Carias was with his wife and two sons, ages 7 and 10, when he pulled into the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 700 block of Richcrest Drive in north Harris County.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said Lagos-Martinez ran up to the car and fired a single shot from a pistol before fleeing the scene. Ayesta-Carias was struck in the head and later died at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Sheriff's deputies said physical evidence and accounts from eyewitnesses tied him to the scene. They did not release information about a possible motive.

The Texas Legislature approved a $1 fee in 1991 to be added to every auto insurance policy in Texas to fund what was then the Auto Theft Prevention Authority, which was designed to work side-by-side with county sheriff's offices to battle auto thefts.
