A 33-year-old Texas man has been indicted on a murder charge in the tragic killing of 9-year-old Arlene Alvarez in February 2022. This indictment comes nearly two years after a previous grand jury had declined to indict him in connection with the child's fatal shooting.
The man, identified as Tony Earls Jr., was initially released after a Harris County grand jury did not indict him for aggravated assault in July 2022. However, the case was revisited this year after District Attorney Kim Ogg assigned a special prosecutor to re-examine the circumstances.
