Houston, TX – The final suspect wanted in a 2021 Harris County murder has been taken into custody after a four-year manhunt, officials announced Wednesday.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, U.S. Marshals arrested Luis Argueta, 49, in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, in connection with the killing of Eddie Clark. Argueta was booked into the Webb County Jail and is awaiting extradition to Harris County.
Argueta was the fourth and last suspect charged in Clark’s murder and had been listed on the FBI Houston Most Wanted List, according to authorities.
The homicide occurred on May 17, 2021, when deputies responded to the 17100 block of Hilton Hollow Drive in the Westminster Village subdivision. Officers discovered a vehicle that had left the roadway and struck a tree after being hit with multiple gunshots.
The driver, identified as Eddie Clark, managed to exit the vehicle and flee a short distance on foot before collapsing. He was airlifted by LifeFlight but later pronounced deceased.
Sheriff Gonzalez credited the successful arrest to coordination with federal law enforcement partners, noting that the case represents the closure of a long-standing investigation.
