Police said they received an anonymous tip that led them to Andre Ford.
Ford has been charged in the murder of Cedrick Cotton, 46, who was stabbed to death outside of a food mart in southwest Houston earlier this month. He d ride his little bike, go there, get a quick cigarette, said Delores Floyd, Cotton s mother. The next thing I know, I get this call and I heard people . He comes here every day. He doesn t bother anybody. He s a good guy.
Floyd said she can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing Ford won t be able to hurt anyone again. She said she s grateful to police.
