Galveston police arrested a man in a 2019 murder and believe he may be connected to another homicide.Detectives with the Galveston Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect in the March 2019 murder of 66-year-old Melvin Walker, whose case had been classified as a cold case until now.
Police say Walker was beaten to death, his body then wrapped in a rug and plastic before he was dumped. At the time, officials described the homicide as "an extremely unusual scene." "They just didn't have the physical evidence, until eight months ago. There's been some advances in technology that have allowed for more specific or sensitive DNA testing to be done," Michelle Sollenberger, the lead detective in the case, said.
As for the investigation into Donna Brown's murder, police say the case is no longer considered cold. The investigation has been reopened now that Pierre has officially been named a person of interest.
