ARREST MADE IN WALLER CO. ATTACK

  

Waller County Sheriff’s Deputies have captured the man suspected of an attack at a Houston-area steel fabrication plant that left a supervisor dead and another employee wounded.

34-year-old Evan Lyndell Parker was arrested late Thursday on murder and aggravated assault warrants after a brief standoff at a Houston-area apartment complex.

The attack occurred Wednesday night at Orizon Industries in Brookshire, where Parker was a contract worker.

Investigators have not released a motive for the knife attack that killed 64-year-old Harry Parnell, a night supervisor.  A 36-year-old co-worker was hospitalized in critical condition.

Officials with Orizon say they weren’t aware of any issues between Parnell and the contract employee hired last year. Parnell was with the company more than 20 years.
