A man has been indicted in connection with the body found with a gunshot wound to the head near the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, east of Bob Bullock Loop, authorities said on Wednesday.
A grand jury returned a true bill charging Colton Quade Branning, 30, with murder.
Branning is accused of taking Justin Allen Heath, 25, to a dead end in the 4500 block of Clark Boulevard and shooting him in the head, according to the Webb County District Attorney’s Office.
The DA’s office said Branning came from Vicksburg, Mississippi, to Laredo to participate in smuggling people and drugs.
