    Default Police arrest 17-year-old teen in slaying of first-year University of Texas student

    Police have arrested a 17-year-old suspect in the slaying of a University of Texas dance student, law enforcement officials said Friday.


    The Killer


    Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said at a news conference that Meechaiel Criner has been booked into the county jail on a first-degree murder charge in the slaying of Haruka Weiser, a first-year student from Portland, Ore. Weiser, 18, was last seen Sunday night leaving the university’s drama building en route to her dorm, police said. Roommates reported her missing the next morning.



    The Innocent Victim

    Weiser’s body was found on campus Tuesday in Waller Creek by the university’s alumni center, a short walk from the drama building.



    Acevedo said Criner was arrested yesterday without incident. “I don’t have a clue what the motive is,” he said. He said Criner is not a student at the university and that there is no known connection between him and UT. He described Criner as homeless.


    Acevedo said Weiser’s death was the first homicide on the University of Texas campus since 1966. The slaying shocked the community as a manhunt for a man on a bicycle — captured in surveillance video — went on throughout the week.
