A man shot and killed a victim, leaving his body in a ditch, after pretending to be a minor online and luring him into an encounter, according to authorities out of Houston, Texas.
James Lewis Spencer III, 22, was arrested Wednesday after officers spent months investigating the mysterious murder of Sean Connery Showers, 37, say local cops.
Officers said they responded the early morning of May 29, 2023, regarding a man unresponsive at 900 Northwood Street. Paramedics pronounced the man — Showers — dead. He had multiple gunshot wounds, police said.

“[Spencer and Showers] were communicating using a social media app,” Rehman Merchant, the chief prosecutor for the 179th District Court, said at the probable cause hearing on Thursday, according to Houston outlet KTRK. “The communications were sexual in nature. The officers believe that they were meeting up at this park to engage in sexual activity.”
