A Texas teen has been charged with murder among other charges following a police chase that lead to the death of an innocent driver Sunday.
17-year-old Christopher Evan Romero has been also been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, felony evading arrest with a motor vehicle and is being held at the Harris County Jail with a $300,000 bond. Romero also has an outstanding felony warrant out of Dimmit County.
Webster Police Department officers began the pursuit at 12:30 a.m. Sept. 4 after an attempted traffic stop of a stolen vehicle leading officers to the Beltway 8 Frontage Road and Spencer Highway.
Romero accelerated and hit three vehicles after authorities stopped at a stop light leading to the death of 40-year-old Rolando Del Real Gonzales.
A missing 15-year-old out of San Antonio was also in the vehicle.
The public defender asked for a $50,000 bond, but the judge set bond at $300,000 and said if Romero does post that bond, he must remain under 24-hour house arrest.
