Police arrested Emanuel Hernandez, an 18-year-old La Porte resident, and another 16-year-old male as suspects of the homicide which occurred in the southeast edge of Deer Park last Friday.
According to a police report, Christopher Seabreak, a 20-year-old La Porte resident, was killed due to shot wounds to his chest. A few minutes before 6 p.m., multiple individuals made 911 calls informing police of a homicide in the 9700 block of Spencer Highway.
Detective Jason T. Meredith of the Deer Park Police Department said the investigation is still open and noted the department can’t release the name of the 16-year-old male because he is a juvenile.
Meredith said he can’t comment on who shot Seabreak.
Hernandez and the 16-year-old male are both charged with murder and the former is in the Harris County Jail and the latter is in the county detention facility, he said.
Hernandez is currently being held on a $50,000 bond as of Tuesday evening, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office database.
Meredith said the suspects and Seabreak were acquaintances and the two were allegedly going to rob him at the scene, but it is “unknown” how the situation escalated to the point where somebody was killed.
The detective said the last murder to happen in Deer Park was in April 2005.
