Three people convicted for their roles in killing Army veteran and burning body in car
The manager of a gentleman’s club on the Gulf Freeway and two employees have pleaded guilty to their roles in the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old Army veteran in the restroom of the club in 2017. The trio worked together to clean up the crime scene, put the victim’s body in his own car, drive it to La Marque and set it on fire with the body inside to destroy the evidence, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Saturday.
“This may have been an impulsive crime, but these three people have been brought to justice after going to great lengths to conceal their actions,” Ogg said. “Our partners in law enforcement did an amazing job of piecing together what happened and securing charges against those who were responsible. We hope this brings some closure to the victim’s family”
Brandon P. Lancelin, 31, was shot in the bathroom at the Erotic City nightclub at 8926 Gulf Freeway about 2:30 a.m. on February 17, 2017.
His body was then placed in the backseat of his red Ford Explorer, which was driven to 5600 Mitchell Lanein La Marque (24 miles away) and the SUV was set on fire. Police and firefighters responded about 6:30 a.m.
When investigators learned that the SUV belonged to Lancelin, and Lancelin’s body was found in the backseat, friends and witnesses said he was last seen at the gentleman’s club. Houston police investigators questioned the manager, Milton Carlos Segura, who gave a statement regarding the shooting. Witnesses stated that Segura was jealous that his girlfriend, an employee at the club named Priscilla Ashley Castellano, was paying a lot of attention to Lancelin.
Witnesses told police Segura shot Lancelin in the restroom after closing time. Castellano cleaned up the crime scene and Eleazar Leon, who worked at the club, helped put the body in the SUV and burn it.
Earlier this month, Segura, 39, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
On Friday, Castellano, 31, and Leon, 30, pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence. Castellano was sentenced to three years in prison. Leon was sentenced to eight years of deferred adjudication probation.
Assistant District Attorney Lisa Calligan, of the Major Offenders Division, prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Houston Police Department.
“Brandon Lancelin was an innocent victim and an Army veteran who was killed simply because he was friendly to the wrong people,” Calligan said.
Travis County Court Grants Temporary Injunction in Favor of Harris County in Mask Mandate Lawsuit
Today, the Travis County court presiding over Harris County’s
mask mandate lawsuit against Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton granted
Harris County’s request for a temporary injunction, allowing Harris County to keep in place its
mask mandates for schools and County employees.
Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee, who represents Harris County in the lawsuit,
stated:
“This decision is another important win in reining the Governor in and empowering officials to
institute measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, especially in our schools. Governor Abbott
is misusing the Texas Disaster Act to make this pandemic worse. We’re not letting up on this fact.
And I plan to see this fight through until the Texas Supreme Court reaches a final decision.”
The temporary injunction takes effect immediately. It is expected that the Attorney General will immediately appeal, and the legal battle will continue in the Third Court of Appeals in Austin.

Gary Herod Elementary notifies parents about attempted abduction of student
Parents with students at Gary Herod Elementary in Meyerland are were on alert Wednesday after receiving a message Tuesday night from the school’s principal.
“This is an important message for Herod Elementary parents from Principal Colion,” the voicemail and letters read. “We received reports that an unknown female attempted to abduct one of our students as he was walking on Mullins street as he was walking home.”
Houston Independent School District confirmed that the attempted kidnapping happened around 3 p.m. and stated that the child was able to get away unharmed.
“Me and my mom, we were shocked because school just started and they already starting this already,” Victoria Walker, a Herod elementary parent. “So we were terrified because, like, these kids are waking home every day.”
Herod Elementary’s parents said the incident sparked another family discussion about strangers and school safety. Rachel Macias said her first and fourth-grade children know to not talk to strangers or leave the school’s campus without her around.
“To make sure that he doesn’t go anywhere until I get there, stay inside and don’t come outside until he sees one of us,” said the mother of two.
Stella Mireles-Walters founded Safe Walk Home Northside six years ago after Josue Flores, 11, was abducted and fatally stabbed while walking home from school. Since 2016, Mireles-Walters has made it her mission to ensure children have a safe walk home from school.
She said she’s glad the Herod elementary student’s precautionary instincts kicked on Tuesday.
“We need to keep starting to teach our students as well as our parents to get that message across — stay away from strangers,” Mireles-Walters said.
The letter from Herod Elementary’s principal said extra HISD police officers will patrol the area. The email also urged parents to talk to their children about not walking home alone and to pay attention to their surroundings.
HISD released the following statement:
“The HISD Police Department is investigating an incident involving an attempted abduction that occurred on Mullins Street near Herod Elementary School on August 24, 2021, at about 3:05 p.m. An unknown female tried to encourage a student to come to her. The student quickly returned to the crossing guard and was unharmed. Extra HISD police officers have been assigned to patrol the area. HISD takes these situations very seriously, as the safety of our students is always our top priority.”
