On Dec. 10, officers with the Houston Police Department responded to a shooting in the 8400 block of Safeguard Street just after midnight.

The victim confronted and fought the suspects before he was shot. Medical examiners say he suffered gunshot wounds to the head, left upper and lower extremities, and torso.
HPD arrested 21-year-old Carl Michael McCloud Jr. for capital murder on Thursday. He’s now sitting in the Harris County Jail.
McCloud is due back in court on Monday, Dec 19.
