Police Searching for South Houston Murder Suspect

Crime Stoppers of Houston and South Houston Police Department investigators are asking for help from the public to find a man accused in the October 28 stabbing death of Carlos Duron.

Victor Ayala, 24, has been charged with murder and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Ayala is citizen of Honduras and may be trying to escape to his native country.

Police say that Ayala and Duron argued in the stairwell of an apartment complex at the 1000 block of South Allen Genoa Road at approximately 7 p.m. on Oct. 28.
