HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man charged of an ambush-style murder four years ago surrendered to law enforcement, according to court records.

Luis Argueta is one of four family members accused of chasing down and murdering 29-year-old Eddie Clark III in 2021.
Prosecutors said it was a case of mistaken identity.
On May 17, 2021, Clark was in his northwest Harris County neighborhood when he passed the Argueta household along Hilton Hollow Drive on his way home.
At the time, investigators said the Argueta family mistook Clark for a man who was responsible for previously vandalizing their home. The family allegedly blocked him in on a public roadway with two cars, ran to his car with a baseball bat and pistol, and began to beat and shoot at his car.
Clark reportedly kept driving and crashed into a tree. He collapsed and later died at the hospital, officials said.
In September, Argueta’s wife, Florinda Argueta, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the murder. His son, Joe Argueta, was sentenced to 40 years.
A fourth suspect, Margarito Alcantar, was also charged and is in jail in Hidalgo County.
