Authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border have arrested the man accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend’s 12-year-old son as he broke into an apartment in Houston, Texas.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez announced the arrest Monday night on X (formerly known as Twitter). Terry Rivera, 27, had an arrest warrant for capital murder in the March 4 death of Carlos Fernandez.

“Outstanding work by all. May 12-year-old Carlos Fernandez Rest In Peace,” Gonzalez tweeted.

Gonzalez said authorities at the Brownsville Port of Entry detained Rivera. He’s currently being held at the Cameron County Jail.
