Charleston Ray Harris, a 29-year-old male from Texas City, Texas, tragically passed away on December 24, 2017, in La Marque, Texas. His death was the result of a capital murder, and the case remained unsolved for several years.
In August 2023, a significant breakthrough occurred when Michael Julien, a 34-year-old man, was arrested in connection with Harris's death. U.S. Marshals and La Marque Police Detectives apprehended Julien with the assistance of the FBI's Cellular Analyst Survey Team , which helped connect him to the evidence. Julien is currently in custody and facing capital murder charges.
