— A man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a deadly assault that occurred last month at a gas station in southwest Houston, authorities announced.
On the morning of Friday, May 23, 2025, an altercation broke out at a gas station located at 13102 Bissonnet Street near Synott Road. According to investigators, Lansello Martinez, born November 17, 2002, allegedly attacked Ye Myint Aung, 38, after believing the victim had thrown a beer bottle at his car.
Martinez is accused of striking Aung in the head approximately 20 times, causing severe blunt force trauma. Aung was transported for medical treatment but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead on Sunday, May 25.
Late Thursday night, members of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) located and arrested Martinez. He has been charged with murder and booked into the Harris County Jail.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed the arrest and charges in a public statement. No bond information or additional details about the case were immediately released.
