Police said Turcios told a witness who ran to help him that the suspects had ripped the shoes off his feet as he lay bleeding on the ground. Turcios was transported to a hospital in critical condition. Doctors pronounced him dead the following day.
Investigators and Turcios’ family asked the public for help in finding the suspects, offering a $25,000 reward. Houston police said a tip they received after the press conference led to the arrest of Hernandez.
