Houston mother who lied about 5-year-old daughter falling to death from balcony sentenced to 40 years for beating her to death with belt

A Houston mother who initially falsely claimed in 2019 that her 5-year-old daughter fell to her death from an apartment balcony was sentenced to 40 years for beating the girl to death, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Thursday.

“Children are the most vulnerable and most innocent victims that we see in the criminal justice system, and a parent’s duty is to protect them, not violently beat them,” Ogg said.

Andrea Webb, 24, pleaded guilty in September to the first-degree felony of injury to a child, which carries the same punishment range as a murder charge, five years to life in prison, and asked that her punishment be determined by a judge. The judge conducted a pre-sentence investigation, which could include letters and testimony from Webb’s friends and family and sentenced her Wednesday.

Webb originally called police to her southwest Houston apartment on March 9, 2019, saying her daughter had fallen to her death from the second-story balcony of the family’s apartment. When police asked why the girl was bruised all over her body, Webb admitted that she lied and made up the story because she was scared that she might be charged with murder. She admitted that she had repeatedly beaten the girl with belts and made her sit against the wall without the support of a chair for hours at a time and would beat her if she could not do the “wall sits.”

Webb and her boyfriend, Devon Gibson, were arrested. Gibson’s case is still pending.

Assistant District Attorney Gilbert Sawtelle, who prosecuted the case and is a chief in the DA’s Child Fatality Section, said the sentence was justice for the young victim, Samantha Bell.

“This physical abuse went on for a long period of time and didn’t just happen on one day,” Sawtelle said. He said that the girl died from aconstellation of old and new blunt-force injuries, including patterned and looped scars, contusions and lacerations that resulted in pulmonary fat embolism, acute kidney injury and evidence of systematic stress response. “The little girl’s body just couldn’t take it anymore,” Sawtelle said.

2 deputies shot in Katy neighborhood, suspect dead, authorities say

The suspected shooter was pronounced dead at the scene, according to HCSO’s watch command.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says the shooting happened in the 6600 block of Amberfield Lane.

Deputies were called to the scene around 8 p.m. when someone inside the residence reported a man firing a weapon, Gonzalez says. Officials said the suspected shooter and the 911 caller were related.

Authorities described the situation as an “ambush” saying when deputies arrived, the 43-year-old suspect pointed his weapon at law enforcement and opened fire.

Deputies exchanged gunfire, ultimately shooting the suspect who died at the scene.

During the exchange of gunfire, the two deputies were injured. Investigators said the deputies are 27 and 28 years old.

Gonzalez said the deputies did not appear to have life-threatening wounds. One was shot in the leg and one had a graze to his ear.

Deputies also said that the suspect was out on a personal recognizance bond for aggravated assault of a family member from a case from 2020.

Cuatro personas apuñaladas durante pelea entre estudiantes en parque de Texas

El alguacil del condado de Harris del precinto 5, Ted Heap, confirmó en sus redes sociales que varios de sus oficiales se encuentran en el Parque Beckendorff, en el bloque 1800 de Katyland Drive, tras los reportes de una pelea entre varios estudiantes.

De acuerdo con Heap, poco después de las 3pm, de este 14 de febrero, una pelea entre varios estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Paetow tuvo lugar en el parque. Los agentes encontraron bates y cuchillos en la escena.

Dos víctimas fueron trasladadas vía aérea al hospital Memorial Hermann. Otra persona, sospechosa del apuñalamiento, fue trasladada a un hospital local en ambulancia con heridas que no ponen en peligro su vida. De acuerdo con las autoridades, un total de cuatro personas resultaron heridas.

EXCLUSIVE – Appeals Court upholds 20-year sentence for man who gunned down prominent attorney James Garza over parking space

A Texas appeals court upheld the murder conviction and 20-year prison sentence for a man who fatally shot Houston-area attorney James Garza over a disabled parking space in 2017, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Monday.

“This was a senseless murder over a petty complaint,” Ogg said. “The killer confronted a man over a parking space for people with disabilities after the post office was closed for the day, then claimed self-defense after he opened fire.”

William Anthony Hall, 73, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018 after being convicted for the May 2017 murder of 67-year-old attorney Garza.

The lawyer, who did not have a disabled parking sticker, had stopped to pick up his mail from his post office box at the post office on Broadway.

Hall, who was licensed to carry a concealed handgun, parked in one of the other disabled parking spaces and then confronted the attorney about parking his car in a space reserved for motorists with disabilities.

Even though he initiated the confrontation, Hall told police he shot Garza after feeling threatened during the argument. He said Garza had become physical with him, so he shot him once in the chest with a handgun.

However, an envelope Garza was holding had a bullet hole in it, indicating he was holding it against his chest when he was shot, not swinging a fist at Hall.

“The Houston Police Department, our office and our prosecutors did a stellar job in presenting the facts of this case to a jury,” said Ruben R. Perez, Bureau Chief of Special Crimes. “We especially wish to thank the victim’s family for their patience as the case made its way through the judicial system. Ultimately, justice was served.”

Hall was acting as a vigilante when he took the law into his own hands for an offense that is a minor misdemeanor, Ogg said.

“Owning a gun comes with an enormous amount of responsibility,” Ogg noted. “Harris County jurors are smart, and they know you can’t start a fight and then claim self-defense when you kill someone.”

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Mary McFaden.

Hall appealed the verdict and prison sentence, and the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston recently affirmed both.

Born and raised in Texas City, Garza was well-known in the community. He was drafted and served in the Army as a reconnaissance photographer during the war in Vietnam. After returning home, he worked as a typesetter at the Houston Chronicle and went to night school to earn his business degree at the University of Houston, then a law degree from Texas Southern University.

He became general counsel of the Chronicle, a position he held until the Hearst Corporation bought the Chronicle in 1987. He had a successful private law practice and spent his leisure time playing golf.
