Man named Astroroid charged in NE Houston slaying

A suspect has been arrested in the death of a man who was discovered fatally shot Sunday in a laundry room at an apartment complex in northeast Houston.

Astroroid Dewayne Benton, 32, is charged with murder in the slaying of 36-year-old Donnell Lavar Williams about 3:40 p.m. at 9700 Mesa, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police said Williams was found shot inside the complex laundry room. He died at the scene.

Investigators later determined Benton, who lives in the apartment complex, was a suspect in the case. He was arrested Thursday without incident at the complex.
