HOUSTON, Texas – We are learning more about the man accused of fatally carjacking a 90-year-old Houston Navy veteran on Aug. 31.
Kyliel Denzel Arceneaux, 21, who has been charged with capital murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence in connection to the deadly shooting that happened at the Lonestar Senior Living Apartments, is now facing more charges in a separate case.
According to court documents, Arceneaux is accused of committing aggravated robbery on the University of Houston Campus days before the deadly carjacking took place.
On Tuesday, August 27, UHPD responded to reports of a robbery at 4 a.m. in the Moody Tower. Court documents allege the victim left his dorm room unsecured and went to the restroom, but when he returned, he saw two men rummaging through his room. Investigators say the victim was held at gunpoint and the suspects took his phone before fleeing the scene.
Arceneaux has since been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. He’s currently in jail on a $7 million bond in connection to the deadly carjacking.
