Eric Romero, 16, a junior at Woodrow Wilson High School, died of a gunshot wound to the head after being anonymously dropped off by a group of men at Baylor Medical Center. Police believed the shooting took place near Woodrow Wilson.

At the time, all we knew was that a homicide investigation was ongoing.

Now police say homicide detectives have identified Juanito Molina, 21, as the suspect, and they say Molina has been located and interviewed by detectives.

Earlier this week, on Dec. 29, Molina admitted to accidentally shooting Romero before transporting him to the hospital. Molina has been arrested for Criminal Negligent Homicide and placed in jail on a $15,000 bond, according to police.
