Jasper Robinson has been arrested on a $200,000 bond after 24-year-old Tyler Martinez was found shot outside of a parking garage in Houston.
Police arrived at the Mac 4660 Apartments and found Martinez with multiple gunshot wounds.
Documents said that Robinson confessed to the shooting after returning to the scene.
He was a full-time student at Texas Southern University.
Witnesses told police that shots were fired after the two men broke into a fight.
Both lived at the apartment complex where the incident took place.
Martinez was on top of Robinson at one point before a woman associated with Robinson got a gun from a car and gave it to him.
According to documents, Martinez then appeared to get off Robinson and walk away before he was shot three times in the torso.
Martinez died at the scene.
Records state that the suspect works as a security guard, but there is no word on whether or not he works at the apartment complex where the crime was committed.
Robinson was arrested at the scene after confessing to the crime.
He has been charged with murder and was booked into the Harris County Jail.
Following the news of Martinez’ death, an outpouring of support was posted on social media.
“Heartbreaking loss — thoughts with his family,” one person said.
