Sorry for all the links, but I followed this pretty close. This guy shouldn't have been free after apparently violating parole a few times.
A man accused of gunning down a Good Samaritan who intervened during an purse snatching last week had been on the run since October when he fled from a Houston halfway house.
Anthony Ray Ferrell, 39, was arrested Sunday and charged with capital murder in the slaying of Sam Irick, 24, at a Chevron station in the Meyerland area. He is in the Harris County jail without bail.
Ferrell has a Harris County criminal record going back almost 20 years. In 1993, he was sentenced to 20 years for armed robbery. He was paroled in 2009 but was identified last June as a parole absconder.
State officials filed at least two more arrest warrants for other parole violations. In October, Ferrell was again taken into custody and sent to a state-contracted halfway house in the 10900 block of Beaumont Highway.
On Monday, the details on what led officials to file the parole warrants were not available.
Ferrell's decision to flee the halfway house in October led to the final parole violation warrant against him. He remained at large until Houston police arrested him in Irick's death.
"This crime was tragically senseless but utterly preventable," said crime victims advocate Andy Kahan

Sad story. He does the right thing and pays with his life.
59S inside the beltway was always kind of sketchy but after dumping the majority of the Katrina refugees in that area - it's become one of the more dangerous areas of this cesspool I call home.- Darrell

Perfect punishment for that stupid motherfucker....Take his family members (if they arent already in jail) and shoot them in front of him...make him watch them die...THEN lock his sorry ass up and throw away the key. Mafia style.
RIP to the hero.

Originally posted by Big Studly View Postwho says I wouldn't be thinking of others? In fact, I would be thinking about people more important to me than her and her 3 kids. Not only that, you act as if it was a given that the lady would have been shot. Chances are she loses a fake wallet and some cash. Instead, the dude loses his life. Don't get me wrong, sucks all the way around, but I have something to live for. I guess my point is, hope I am not standing next to you when you get held up at gun point because I am throwing my wallet at the dude and running.
Fucking loser.
