Capital Murder Suspect Among Four Burglars Arrested Thanks to Vigilant Neighbor and Quick-Acting Deputies

(HOUSTON, TX) - A man charged with capital murder was among four suspects arrested last week after an alert neighbor reported a burglary in progress in his north Harris County neighborhood.

Marcelino Osuna, Ruben Moreno, Jr., Michael Alvizio, and Karina Betancourt were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon after deputies caught them red-handed inside a home in the 4800 block of Hollybrook Ln .

On Tuesday, Oct. 14, HCSO deputies quickly responded to the house after a neighbor saw the armed suspects force their way into the residence.

According to the deputies the suspects had held two women and several children at gunpoint inside the house. No one was injured.

Osuna, 26, was out on bond for the January 2014 stabbing death of Jesus Leal Valdez. Valdez's body was found buried in the back yard of a home in the 5200 block of Mohawk.

He's back at the Harris County Jail with no bond.
