Nearly two years after a teenager and her girlfriend were both shot in the head on a grassy hillside in South Texas, killing one of them and leaving the other with serious injuries, authorities have arrested a man in the attack, NBC News reported.
U.S. marshals and Texas Rangers in the San Antonio suburb of Helotes arrested David Malcolm Strickland, 27. He is facing charges of capital murder, aggravated assault with a weapon and aggravated sexual assault in the June 23, 2012, attack on Mollie Olgin, 19, who died in the shooting. Olgin’s girlfriend, Kristene Chapa, then 18, survived.
The Corpus Christi Caller Times quoted Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas, as saying of Strickland, “He’s a stone-cold killer who thought he got away with murder, but will finally pay for his crime. My sympathies and condolences go to the victims and their families who had to endure this wicked act of violence.”
