HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) The man accused of shooting a Harris County Sheriff deputy Tuesday evening appeared in probable cause court Wednesday afternoon, and the weapon he used could play a big role in the investigation, but remains unfound.
Moises Martinez, 37, is accused of shooting Deputy Brandon Barragan multiple times and faces three charges, including two counts of aggravated assault on a public servant and a felon in possession of a weapon.
A judge set Martinez s bail at $525,000 and deputies said they are still searching for the gun Martinez used at the scene. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez released a photo of Martinez holding it and appealing to the public for help.
