Overview

  • U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei announced a federal charge of unlawful possession of a firearm against Savin Seng, 41, following the Oct. 3 shooting death of a woman near Victoria, Texas.
  • The criminal complaint alleges a witness identified Seng as the shooter, that his phone with an image of a Glock and extended magazine was found at the scene, and that he was arrested less than a mile away.
