COLLEGE STATION, Texas (FOX 44) – UPDATE: Following a tragic incident in College Station, Texas, the suspect involved in a double homicide case has now been formally charged with Capital Murder.

Suspect Charged with Capital Murder

The College Station Police Department has identified the suspect as 19-year-old Michael Anthony Epperson. Epperson was recently transferred from Bell County to the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center. The department’s Major Crimes Unit conducted a thorough investigation into the shooting deaths of Epperson’s grandfather, 59-year-old Seferino Aleman, and his brother, 22-year-old Isaac Garcia. Additionally, it was revealed that Epperson’s uncle sustained a gunshot wound to the arm during the incident.

Alongside the Capital Murder charge, Epperson also faces two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, which were filed on the night of the shooting. Currently, his bond has been set at $3 million.

The events unfolded when Epperson was apprehended on May 24. Authorities were initially alerted to a shooting in the 2000 block of Colgate Drive, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. Residents in the area were advised to steer clear of the vicinity.

After the incident, a search was launched for Epperson, who was spotted leaving the scene in a 2017 Red Nissan Sentra with distinctive black rims and a Longhorn sticker on the rear window.

At 3:16 a.m. on Friday, police announced that Epperson was wanted on two charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. A subsequent update at 4:02 a.m. confirmed his arrest.

Collaborative Efforts in Apprehension
