Texas authorities have made an arrest in the murder of a high school cheerleader whose body was discovered by her mother last Tuesday, authorities said in a statement.
Edna Police Chief, Rick Boone, said in Sunday’s statement that his officers worked with Texas Rangers to arrest an undocumented immigrant, 23-year-old Rafael Govea Romero, under suspicion of capital murder in relation to the death of local high school cheerleader, Lizbeth Medina.
“Although Romero is apprehended, we recognize Lizabeth’s family and friends are grieving and still need support from the community,” Boone said. “The citizens of Edna can now sleep in peace.”
