Orozco was stabbed hours after Houston Police responded that morning to a fatal shooting of a man and a woman in the driveway of a North Houston home. David Elijah Herrera, 31, was arrested and charged with capital murder after his license plate was captured by a citizen who witnessed a man getting into his car near the shooting, police said. Herrera is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Dariela Elizabeth Cardona, 29, and her partner, Erick Von Gerbitz, 41, according to court records.

 We want to remind Houstonians - Houston Police Department has lots of resources for people that are experiencing domestic violence,  HPD Captain Ryan Watson said Monday in a briefing.  Domestic violence is driving violent crime right now, and we want everybody in Houston to know there are options, there are solutions and it does not need to end in violence. 

Herrera is in the Harris County Jail and his bail is slated to be set at a hearing Wednesday. Court records indicate he has no prior criminal history.

The three murders Monday in Harris County follow the arrest of 22-year-old Guillermo Mondragon Rosales, who is accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend and her father in Baytown Sept. 28. Leonel Pavon, 53, the father, was pronounced dead at the scene. Enelsi Pavon, Rosales' 19-year-old ex-girlfriend, was transported by helicopter to a hospital. Enelsi Pavon was in stable condition as of Tuesday, according to the sheriff's office.

Rosales has been charged with murder in connection with Leonel Pavon's slaying and aggravated assault in connection with shooting Enelsi Pavon, according to Sheriff Gonzalez. Gonzalez said the shooting appeared to be motivated by Rosales' anger over the end of his relationship.
