Worker's cigarette causes fire that sent thick black smoke into SW Houston sky

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A lot of heavy black smoke caused some alarm in southwest Houston Thursday afternoon.

From SkyEye 13 HD, you could see the thick black smoke billowing into the air from miles away. It turns out it was a transformer that caught fire and spread to nearby trees and a fence.

A Houston Fire Department spokesperson told us that it is a break area for construction workers and that a fire by smoking materials is the only logical thing the commander could come up with.

Crews got that fire out in no time and there were no reports of injuries.

Arrest made in alleged 'black magic' sexual assault

  TOMBALL, TX (KTRK) -- The search for a 60-year-old man accused of rape in Tomball has ended in his arrest. And now, the victim's family is speaking about the crime and how the man was finally captured.

Mario Munoz-Verudes is accused of assaulting a 17-year-old after claiming he could help her with black magic. According to the father of that teen girl, the man wanted for rape had been hiding from police not far from where the alleged rape took place back on September 25.

The father, who we're not identifying, says he knew Munoz-Verudes was hiding out in the woods behind the home and waited for him in an abandon house overnight. His son helped explain to us what happened.

"All of the fathers and mothers that have children, if they were to be violated, they would all feel the same," said the son. "Angry, mad and we wouldn't rest until we found the man."

According to police, the sexual assault happened at a home where Munoz-Verudes was renting a room from the owner. According to the girl's father, after finally finding Munoz-Verudes, they got into a physical altercation.

"He took out a knife and tried to stab my dad and that made him angry and what my dad did, he attacked him," said the son.

The girl's father tells us he was able to call police after the fight. Police arrested Munoz-Verudes early Saturday morning.

Police say Munoz-Verudes claimed he knew black magic and told the girl he would get rid of her bad spirits. This was allegedly his way to lure the girl into his home.

"Proclaimed himself to be a religious man, attended church regularly, supposedly, and was able to do some witchcraft or some spells," said Detective Ron McGullion with the Tomball Police Department.

Munoz-Verudes is facing a charge of rape. At this point, it's unclear when his next court appearance will be.

Houston's 1st black UT Dental graduate dead at 83

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- One of Houston's premier dentists and the first black person to graduate from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston died Saturday.

Dr. Zeb F. Poindexter Jr. was 83.

Poindexter was known as a trailblazer. He graduated high school at age 16. In 1956, he made history as the first African-American to graduate from UT Dental. He then opened his first practice in the historic Chocolate Bayou neighborhood.

By 1960, he built the Sunnyside Clinic on Cullen Boulevard -- a 500-square-foot family dental practice which has grown into a 1,800-square-foot facility known as Poindexter Dental Inc.

He later earned a Masters in Endocrinology at Texas Southern University. After a successful 42-year career in dentistry, Poindexter retired in 2000.

Poindexter's son, Dr. Zeb F. Poindexter III, continues to operate the dental practice in Sunnyside.

Funeral services are pending.

Four indicted in alleged hate crime beating of black man at bus stop

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- What allegedly happened at a Houston bus stop is now being prosecuted as a hate crime. Four white men are accused of attacking a black man.

Late one night last August, Yondell Johnson was sitting at a bus stop waiting for the bus when he saw four men approach him, throw a few racial epithets around, and attacked.

"It was like I couldn't believe this was happening, and I thought I could be dying especially when they had me on the ground," said Johnson.

On Thursday, Johnson says justice is finally being served because the four suspects -- Charles Cannon, Michael McLaughlin, Brian Kerstetter and Joseph Staggs -- have been indicted on federal hate crime charges, meaning that the motive behind the attack was Johnson's race.

"I knew it still happened, but right here in my own back yard -- not really," said Johnson

The indictment by the federal government is a result of a multi-month investigation involving the FBI, the Houston Police Department and other local authorities. It is significant because it's only the third time the hate crime statute has been used since it passed Congress in 2009.

"The message is not only is this a new tool for law enforcement to use, but the community needs to know the law enforcement people here in Houston are willing to use it," said Stephen Morris with the FBI.

Investigators say three of the men have white supremacist gang tattoos.

The four suspects were arrested at the scene following a 911 call. If convicted, each could face up to 10 years in prison.

All four are already facing charges in Harris County, but for Johnson this day is significant.

"I'm just glad the justice is coming to an end, and justice is finally served," said Johnson.

All four men are charged with violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. It was passed in October 2009 and it expanded a previous federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. The act was the first federal law to extend legal protections to transgender persons.

James Byrd Jr. was the Jasper man who was dragged to his death from a pickup truck in 1998 by three white men. His murder led Texas to pass its own hate crime law in 2001.

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
