Overview

• A Harris County grand jury on July 27 charged Katia Trevon Bougere with felony murder for fatally shooting former Special Forces interpreter Abdul Rahman Waziri during an April 27 parking dispute.
• Rather than issuing an arrest warrant, the district clerk’s office served Bougere with a summons requiring his appearance in court on August 5 under a Texas practice for serious offenses.
• Prosecutors asked the court to set bail at $100,000, impose electronic GPS monitoring, enforce home confinement and bar Bougere from possessing firearms while the case proceeds.
• Waziri’s family and former Green Berets have protested the three-month gap between the shooting and indictment and criticized the decision to allow Bougere to remain free.
• If convicted of the murder charge, Bougere could face up to 99 years in prison under Texas law.
