A former Port Arthur man living in a men’s shelter in Houston is charged with the fatal stabbing an 11-year-old boy as he walked home from school.

Andre Timothy Jackson Jr., 27, was arrested at the Salvation Army Men’s Shelter, 2407 North Main, on June 3 for the May 17 murder of Josue Flores, 11, according to information from the Houston Police Department.

He is being held in the Harris County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Jackson is the second person arrested for the crime. The first suspect, a 31-year-old Houston man, was charged in the homicide but charges were dismissed the next day.

Information from Port Arthur Independent School District shows that Jackson was a 2006 graduate of Memorial High School.

Posts on his Facebook page detail two years of homelessness, depression and thoughts of suicide and in March 2014 he had a finger amputated after a gun went off in his bed.

Not long after, he wrote about trying to call family members but received no reply, ending with “Im going to try to kill myself because my life is stupid and so are all the people around me that treat me this way.”

In April 15, 2014, he posted “I wish someone could kill me and get me out of this nightmare life. What a horror story.”

A Twitter account @ImTheOnliest tells of a man wanting to be a record producer and included a link to what appears to be his Go Fund Me page titled “Donate for a Better Lifestyle” which tells of his goals and his need for money for food, clothing and housing.

KTRK ABC Channel 13 in Houston was on hand for Jackson’s court appearance Monday where they learned the child had been stabbed 20 times.

Days after Flores’ death the community in which the crime occurred held a rally calling for justice and demanding the killer be caught. Then, on Monday, a small group of people held a memorial and walked a mile-and-a-half to the courthouse.

According to HPD, officers in the area of Fulton and James Street were flagged down on May 17 by a person regarding a boy who had been stabbed. Officers found Flores in the grass at the above intersection.

Josue Flores was walking home from school southbound near the 1900 block of Fulton Street.  He was on the sidewalk just west of Fulton Street coming up to James Street when he was approached by an unknown black male walking northbound on the same sidewalk.  According to several witnesses, they heard loud screaming and observed the unknown black male and the boy struggling with one another. The boy then collapsed on the grass near the sidewalk and the suspect fled the scene on foot northbound on Fulton St.  He was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital to be treated for multiple stab wounds, but was pronounced dead a short time later.
