Victor Hugo Cuevas, the man connected to last year's case of the missing tiger in Houston, was convicted Tuesday on an unrelated murder charge in Fort Bend County, according to court records.
Victor Cuevas, the owner of the escaped Bengal tiger named India, left a Fort Bend County jail for the sixth time on a 2017 murder charge in late May after posting $300,000 bail. The higher bond stemmed from Cuevas speeding away from two Houston police officers with India in the back of a Jeep Cherokee. A judge had revoked Cuevas’ bond on four other occasions since his July 2017 arrest for repeatedly violating the conditions of his release.
Following a trial in the 240th District Court, a jury found Cuevas, 27, guilty of first-degree murder in the July 2017 shooting death of Osiekhuemen Omobhude, according to Fort Bend County court records. Cuevas was indicted last August in Harris County on a felony charge of evading arrest in connection with the tiger incident, court records show.
An off-duty Waller County sheriff’s deputy who lived in the neighborhood spotted a Bengal tiger sitting on the front lawn of his neighbor’s home.He then put the tiger in the backseat of a white Jeep Grand Cherokee and sped away from Houston police officers with their emergency lights activated, eventually losing them, records show.
