The two suspects -- both from Stafford -- are accused of “causing” 23-year-old Sostenes Briones to “fall from the sixth level of a parking garage” according to court documents.
Paramedics found Briones’ body in a breezeway between the parking garage and an apartment building.
Briones died from blunt force trauma to his torso.
The Houston Police Department initially arrested Enrique Malaquias Bonilla, 21, who faces charges of murder and aggravated robbery with serious bodily injury. Now, a second suspect, Isaiah Ray Williams, has been arrested and charged with murder and aggravated robbery. Both men are currently in the Harris County Jail.
Briones, born on Aug. 28, 2001, was known for his warm presence and ability to connect with others.
His family highlighted his willingness to help others and his unique smile in his obituary.
His mother shared, “My son, I loved you very much and will always remember you.” His siblings also expressed their sentiments, saying, “Brother, you will be very missed. I loved you and will always do.”
