After committing the crime, the suspect, who is believed to be serving in the military in a foreign country, fled from the scene.
Detectives from the Robbery-Homicide Unit secured a warrant for his arrest and launched a search to track him down.
Eventually, he was found and arrested at Fort Cavazos, the military base where he was stationed. Authorities expect to formally charge him once investigations are completed.
Currently, he is being held at Killeen City Jail and faces serious charges. Under Texas law, he could receive a life sentence or even the death penalty if convicted.
This case follows another shocking incident involving a Kenyan man arrested in the U.S. just two months ago. That suspect was accused of killing his partner, whose dismembered body was later discovered in a car after she had been missing for a week.
According to police from Delaware and Maryland, the suspect was arrested based on evidence suggesting he might be involved in what appeared to be a love triangle.
