An 18-year-old has been arrested and charged with murdering a grandmother outside of her apartment located in the Memorial area while stealing her car in February.
Police say Owen Leonardo Vilanova-Ardon, 18, was arrested Tuesday. He was charged with capital murder.
It happened on Feb. 14 at Yorkchester Drive and St. Mary’s Lane. According to officers, the suspect shot the victim, Judy Walters, in the morning while children in the neighborhood were getting on the school bus. Investigators said the suspect is one of two men who not only shot the victim but pulled her from her SUV, then ran her over with her car and took off from the west Houston apartment complex. Hours later, surveillance video captured a Mitsubishi SUV jumping a curb and driving on the lot of an Alief-area business.
Police told KPRC 2 they don’t believe this was a random act of violence. Investigators released surveillance video showing two young men in black bandanas pacing around the complex all night long leading up to the morning attack. One month later, Vilanova-Ardon was taken into custody.Police have not said if they have located the second suspect in this case.
