An early-morning investigation in Harris County ended with two people in handcuffs, now charged with murder in the shooting death of a 33-year-old man, authorities said Saturday. The Harris County Sheriff's Office later identified the victim as Jorge Gonzalez. Deputies said the arrests followed an overnight push to track down the suspects.
What Officials Say
According to a post by Harris County Sheriff's Office, deputies arrested Joseph Plattenburg (born Aug. 7, 1984) and Jordyn Wells (born March 18, 1998) and booked them into the county jail on murder charges. The post identified the victim as Jorge Gonzalez, 33, and stated that the suspects told investigators they believed Gonzalez owed them money.
Next Steps And Court Filings
Formal charging documents, arraignment dates and court dockets are handled through the county's criminal courts. Public filings can be searched via the Harris County District Clerks online records. Those filings will show whether prosecutors bring formal complaints in the case and will list upcoming court settings.
Where They're Being Held
The Harris County Sheriff's Office maintains an online inmate inquiry that explains how arrestees are processed and where to check custody status. Residents can use that system for booking updates and contact numbers. According to the post by Harris County Sheriff's Office, investigators are continuing to work the case, and additional information will be released as it becomes available.
