Hughes was taken into custody without incident and was being held on capital murder charges while he awaits his arraignment. Police believe the 62-year-old man acted alone in the fatal stabbing of the young man and that no one else was involved. An investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to work to determine the motive for the senseless stabbing.

“We have a lot of questions, just like everyone else. And through the investigation, we hope that we can answer all of the questions and why this tragedy occurred,” said Officer Sheena McEachran of the Richland Hills Police Department.
