Friday night, Houston Police Department announced on X that an arrest had been made in the investigation into at least five attacks in the West Gulf Bank area.

The arrest comes just days after 29-year-old Denzeill Sneed was arrested after being linked to two of the five reported attacks.

Although the five assaults were originally investigated as a search for a single serial predator, HPD officials announced that a search was underway for a second perpetrator after Sneed was taken into custody.

While authorities have not made a specific confirmation at this time, it is believed that the second attacker was arrested tonight.
