HOUSTON, TX – A 25-year-old man has been taken into custody in connection with a mass shooting at a local sports bar, while authorities continue to search for a second suspect believed to have fled to Mexico. The incident, which occurred early Sunday morning, has left four individuals in critical condition.
Police arrested Cau Se. But, who faces charges of aggravated assault following the shooting at the Latina Sports Bar in Houston. The arrest took place on Tuesday, and But is expected to appear in court for a probable cause hearing later today.
Witnesses at the scene told investigators they observed the second suspect outside the venue shortly before gunfire erupted. Surveillance footage captured two men, one in dark clothing identified as But, and another in white clothing, arriving at the bar in a black Toyota Corolla. Shortly thereafter, shots were fired into the establishment, injuring six people.

As the search for the second suspect intensifies, law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to ensure justice is served and prevent further incidents of violence. Updates on the case are expected as the investigation unfolds.
