Charleston Ray Harris, 29, of Texas City, Texas, was killed on December 24, 2017, in La Marque, Texas. His death was treated as a capital murder and the case remained unsolved for years.

In August 2023 Michael Julien, 34, was arrested by U.S. Marshals and La Marque Police Detectives with assistance from the FBI’s Cellular Analyst Survey Team; authorities say that connection tied him to evidence in Harris’s death. Julien is in custody and facing capital murder charges, and the La Marque Police Department is coordinating with the Galveston County District Attorney’s office on prosecution.

The arrest was described as bringing some closure to Harris’s family and the community. Anyone with information is asked to contact the La Marque Crime Stoppers tip line at 409-938-8477.
