The incident happened at a party in the 2400 block of Sweet Bay Drive on Aug. 13. Galomo died at the scene and the suspect, later identified as San Miguel, fled, according to Chambers County Sheriff’s Office.
The case was later taken to a grand jury and San Miguel was indicted for murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Sheriff’s deputies found and arrested San Miguel in Houston with the help of the United States Marshal’s Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force and the Houston Police Department. The sheriff’s office investigated the case and interviewed more than 15 witnesses.
During a court session, officials with the Chambers County District Attorrney’s Office pushed for a high bond as prosecutors feared San Miguel would be a flight risk.
The judge eventually set San Miguel’s bond at $4 million for the murder charge.
“I am thankful for the dedicated work of our detectives in securing an indictment in this senseless killing,” Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said. “We can now pray for justice for Gregory and peace for his family in this trying time.”
