Austin police say they have arrested a homeless 17-year-old they believe is connected in the death of University of Texas at Austin student Haruka Weiser. The Austin Police Department says Meechaiel Khalil Criner was booked into the Travis County Jail around 2 a.m. Friday and charged with murder. His bond has been set at $1 million.
Police made the link to Criner after the Austin Fire Department alerted them to a trash fire they were called to on Monday, April 4 at 2900 Medical Arts Street, which is just off-campus. At the time on Monday, a woman called 911 to report the trash fire and told authorities she saw the person who started the fire. When firefighters arrived, they found Criner who had a woman’s bicycle in his possession as well as a small blue duffel bag that resembles the one that Haruka had.

The fact that I most resent is that I am too old for jury duty. Otherwise, as a Travis County resident, I possibly could have served on that jury.
Thanks for this info, I thought that he might be too young to kill.
When I said something about his muslim name (Khalil, I got a reply that he was from Texarkana.
At least they caught him quickly, unlike Danny Rolling, who terrorized the UF campus for months before being caught.
Young women must be taught to think / practice ‘policies’. She must act these out, literally and often, and in her thoughts. This is TRAINING, and we always fall back on our training.
“If I’m grabbed, I scream and fight like a tiger, no matter what”
“If he has a knife, I take a cut, and run, cuz the cut won’t kill me”
She MUST practice head-butting, biting, scratching the eyes. Leave out the ear-buds; carry a sharp pencil. She must BE CONSTANTLY ON GUARD, especially at night, and when alone. “The Gift of Fear” is good, buy it for your daughter before she goes to college.
$Million bond? The A-hole must be rich.
WHY isn’t this a HATE CRIME?
Someone had a blog listing all the crime against whites. Look up Colin Flaherty.
Social Justice will fix this, he’s a poor underprivileged black youth who never really got a break in life, out in 5 with good behavior or juvenile detention. Nice being young and black these days
The 5 years and out isn’t even a joke. I’ve seen it happen.
That might be the 64 thousand dollar question instead of the real issue.
In the 17 years the case will be on appeal, he will be 34 and then can legally be executed
“If they have the right guy”

Reports are they have video footage plus he had her backpack when they found him. If he raped her, there will be DNA evidence.
In Texas?
You can forget that.
Will try to check it out - thanks......
