Police: Spring ISD junior slain for dating suspect's sister

Two high school seniors from Houston have been charged with murder in the death of a schoolmate, who Montgomery County authorities say was killed because he was dating one suspect's 14-year-old sister.

Edgar Arturo Sazo, 17, and Edson H. Olvera Garza, 18, are being held without bail in the Montgomery County Jail.

Both are seniors at Westfield High School in the Spring school district, said sheriff's Lt. Bill Bucks.

They have given statements about the death of Eugene Posana Villaruel, 17, a junior at Westfield, Bucks said.

His body was found about 8:30 a.m. Sunday by a jogger, who spotted it in a wooded area near the 28000 block of Ascot Farms. He had been stabbed numerous times in the head and upper body, Bucks said.

Villaruel apparently was killed somewhere nearby before his body was dumped at the spot, investigators believe.

Authorities focused on Sazo and Garza after learning from Villaruel's parents that he had been with them on Saturday evening, Bucks said.

He said the two suspects told Villaruel that they were going to a quinceañera, a coming-of-age party celebrating a girl's 15th birthday, but investigators are not sure whether any such party actually was held.

The three students had been friends at one time, Bucks said, but the relationship soured over the victim's relationship with Sazo's sister.

"We're still running down many leads and a lot of information," Bucks said.
