A jury has convicted a man for fatally stabbing an 11-year-old Houston boy as the child walked home from school in 2016.
Authorities say the sixth-grader was killed as he walked home from a science club meeting at a school just north of downtown Houston on May 17, 2016. He was only two blocks from home when he was stabbed more than 20 times.
During closing arguments on Tuesday, prosecutors told jurors that the boy's DNA was found on Jackson’s jacket.“The reasonable conclusion here is that the victim’s DNA is on Andre Jackson’s jacket because he murdered Josue Flores. Andre Jackson is a killer. He killed a child and the evidence is right here guys,” said Harris County Assistant District Attorney Chris Condon.
