HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Police in Houston have arrested Che Calhoun, 31, for allegedly fatally stabbing an 11-year-old boy who was walking home from school.
Investigators say Josue Flores was walking on a sidewalk Tuesday when Calhoun walked toward him and stabbed him several times in an "unprovoked" attack.
Police provided no information Wednesday on a possible motive or relationship between Josue and Calhoun.
Josue's sister, Sophia Flores, says she still can't believe her brother is gone. "It feels like a person stabbed me in my heart. I always talked to him about my problems. He always talked to me about his problems."
Witnesses reported seeing the man and the boy struggle before the child collapsed onto some grass, then the suspect ran. A bystander flagged down police.
Josue was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Calhoun is charged with murder in the case.
