He was rushed to the hospital and fought to recover for nearly two months, but on November 24, he passed away from complications caused by the shooting.
Investigators identified 31-year-old Andre Jackson as a suspect in the case and arrested him on November 26. He was originally charged with aggravated robbery, but after Anwar’s death, those charges were upgraded to capital murder.
Jackson is now in the Harris County Jail, and the investigation is still ongoing.
