Suspect Facing Murder Charge
San Antonio, TX - Brandon DeShawn Humes, 22, was arrested
this morning by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star
Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF), Converse Police Department (CPD), and Live Oak
Police Department (LOPD) in Live Oak, TX. An arrest warrant was issued pursuant
to an investigation by the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) after Humes was
indicted for murder.
On January 10, 2017, members of the LSFTF were contacted by
members of the North Texas Fugitive Task Force (NTFTF) to assist in searching
for Humes. Members of the LSFTF immediately initiated an investigation in
locating and apprehending Humes. Through investigative efforts and extensive
surveillance, task force officers located Humes at a hospital located in the
12000 block of Judson Road in Live Oak, TX. Task force officers approached
Humes, identified themselves, and took him into custody without incident.
On December 10, 2016, Humes and his girlfriend were
allegedly involved in an argument that resulted in a deadly shooting at a home
located in the 2500 block of Tar Heel Drive, on the south side of Fort Worth.
Reports stated that the two were heard yelling at each other in an upstairs
bedroom and then a gunshot was fired. Humes fled the home and the victim was
later found deceased. After a thorough investigation by FWPD Homicide
detectives, a warrant was issued for Humes’ arrest. Humes remained a fugitive
on the run until he was arrested this morning in Live Oak.
Humes is currently being held in custody at the Bexar County
Sheriff’s Office awaiting extradition back to Fort Worth.
David Sligh, United States Marshal for the Western District
of Texas, stated, “To say that I am simply proud of the investigative and
collaborative efforts of the task force officers and police officers involved
in this case would be an understatement. Each officer in this case pursued this
fugitive with the highest level of diligence, determination, and expertise
until he was finally arrested.”
