HOUSTON – A man has been arrested and charged in connection with a Fourth of July shooting that left a security guard dead, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police said a friend of Keene went to check on him after receiving an inaudible voice message, and that is when he found Keene shot to death in the parking lot.
Investigators with the HPD Homicide Cold Case Unit said they were able to reopen the investigation and collect more evidence, which led them to identify Tyderrian Deleon Duffield as the prime suspect in the case.
Police said Duffield was a “serial burglary suspect in numerous overnight commercial warehouse burglaries around the state during the time of Keene’s death.”
The 27-year-old was taken into custody Friday on unrelated charges and was later charged with capital murder in connection with Keene’s death.
