Houston murder suspect who fled with a tiger has been caught, but not the animal HOUSTON, Texas — Houston authorities have captured a man who allegedly evaded police while housing a Bengal tiger in his yard. “The whereabouts of the tiger are not yet known,” Houston police tweeted late Monday. Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, was out on bond for a murder charge in Fort Bend County, when neighbors spotted the big cat, Houston Police Commander Ron Borza said during a news conference. There were also reports that the suspect had monkeys, which are not illegal to have in the city, Borza said. Having a tiger, though, is illegal.
