    Teen in jail on capital murder charge now accused of 2 sex assaults

    By click2houston.com

    HOUSTON - A Houston teenager currently in jail for capital murder is now also being accused of committing two separate sexual assaults.

    Police arrested Julius Merchant in May after they said he broke into a home during a burglary, shot and killed the homeowner, and pistol-whipped the man's wife.

    David Macias was killed in the incident.

    Now, investigators have linked Merchant, 18, to two sexual assaults.

    Police said in April, Merchant broke into an apartment and allegedly assaulted a woman.

    A few weeks later, police said he did it again.

    Merchant, 18, is charged with capital murder, aggravated sexual assault and burglary with intent to commit felony.

    He is being held without bond in the Harris County Jail. He's due in court Friday.

    Court records show Merchant has a long criminal record, including charges of terroristic threat, criminal mischief and escape.

    ‘We have serial killers living among us’: Harris County DA seeks death sentence in two more capital murder cases

    In the summer of 2014, a man known as Broadway gunned down Tremayne Richardson in a late-night drug deal-gone-bad. It was a brazen outdoor slaying that left Richardson’s body riddled with gunshots, a bag of Transformers-stamped ecstasy pills in his hand.

    Police arrested 28-year-old Jeremy Wayne Miller and charged him with murder. But after he got out on bond, Miller was arrested in another slaying — and this time prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

    It’s one of two cases in recent months in which the Harris County District Attorney’s Office has notified defense attorneys of plans to pursue the state’s harshest punishment. In the other case, 22-year-old Julius Merchant is accused of terrorizing a woman and killing her husband during a home invasion, the last in a series of alleged break-ins and assaults across the county.
