A man wanted for allegedly murdering his 23-year-old ex-girlfriend has been arrested, according to police.
According to court records, in her final moments in the back of an ambulance, she told an officer that her ex-boyfriend had shot her.
Algie Mac Washington, 45, was later charged with murder.
Police announced they were looking for Ferguson on Tuesday, offering up to a $5,000 reward.
On Wednesday morning, a week after the shooting, Houston police said they developed information on Washington’s whereabouts, and officers from the HPD Crime Reduction Unit and SWAT tracked him down at an apartment complex in the 2500 block of Winrock Street.
Washington was taken into custody and transported to the Harris County Jail.
According to records, Washington has a lengthy criminal history of domestic abuse against Ferguson. He has been convicted of four felonies in the past for abusing Ferguson, including:
- Aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury
- Assault of a family member with a previous conviction
