Murder suspect from Houston area nabbed

LEAGUE CITY, Texas-Investigators say a Houston-area man suspected of wounding his ex-wife and fatally shooting her husband has been arrested in New Mexico on a murder warrant.

Jail records show Sayantan Ghose of Richmond, Texas, was being held Saturday in Las Cruces, New Mexico, pending extradition. Ghose was arrested Thursday at a Border Patrol checkpoint when his vehicle license plate matched a fugitive alert.

League City police say Amanda Harris on Wednesday called 911 to say her ex-husband was at her home and stalking her. An affidavit says gunshots could be heard.

The affidavit says Ghose and the woman's spouse, Clarence Wayne Harris II, were fighting before the husband was fatally shot. Amanda Harris was treated for arm and leg gunshot wounds.
