Overview

• Christopher Leman Jr., 47, was arrested without incident on Sunday and booked on capital murder charges at the Harris County Jail, where a $4 million bond was set.
• Court filings show deputies discovered Christopher Sr., 75, dead and Mary Leman, 73, critically injured during a July 11 welfare check; autopsies confirmed blunt-force trauma to both and stab wounds to the father.
• Investigators linked Leman Jr. to the crime through cell-phone data placing him on his parents’ property within 24 hours of the killings and recovered a baseball bat from a U-Haul he had rented, which he acknowledged owning.
• A bloody folding knife found at the scene further corroborated forensic evidence, and abusive messages from Leman Jr. to his father were detailed in court documents.
• Authorities previously publicized a manhunt after he was briefly detained for an alleged attempted ammunition purchase and faces a separate harassment charge, and his next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
