Bryant Saul Delatorre, a 21-year-old Hispanic man from Channelview, Texas, was killed during a home invasion on July 17, 2019. Several armed men forced their way into a residence on Pecan Street in the early morning; investigators found several pounds of marijuana at the scene, and the episode is described as connected to a drug-related crime.
Authorities say 18-year-old Jose Pablo Urbina was accused of organizing the attack. A recruit who participated in the crime reportedly told investigators Urbina planned the invasion and shot Delatorre in the head with a shotgun. After the killing, the recruit said Urbina accidentally shot his cousin, an accomplice; that cousin’s body was later found dumped along a road. A bloody trail from the house to a pickup where the accomplice’s body had been placed was noted at the scene.
Urbina was arrested on July 18, 2019, and charged with capital murder; he was denied bail at his preliminary hearing and remained in custody. The case centers on recruitment of others with promises of payment to take part in the attack.
If anyone knew Bryant, his movements that night, or has information about the people involved, please share what can help the investigation.
