Houston murder suspect in the U.S. illegally was under federal skimming scheme investigation, sources say—

HOUSTON – A 36-year-old Cuban national is charged with murder in Harris County after surveillance video shared with KPRC 2 News captured him fatally shooting his ex-brother-in-law at point-blank range Sunday on Whittingham Lane.
Showing up to the home in a gym tank top, Andres Fernandez De La Paz allegedly shot 34-year-old Ediesky Incencio Pineiro in the chest.
The victim, who was shot in front of his family, later died at the hospital.
“He was a wonderful person. I don’t have any bad memories of him. He was a good father and friend,” said Raiza Cedeño Sosa, the victim’s wife said in Spanish translated to English.
Her sister was staying at the house and used to be in a relationship with Fernandez De La Paz, which she described as toxic and violent.
