College Station police have arrested a man for the murder of a Texas A&M student.

Police said they were able to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Victor Manuel Garcia-Loyo for murder with the cooperation of the Fort Worth Police Department.

The investigation showed that Garcia-Loyo was dating the victim, Maricarmen Quiroz-Octaviano.

After speaking to Garcia-Loyo, police said he agreed to come to College Station to be interviewed, but never arrived.

Garcia-Loyo was charged with murder and is in the Brazos County Jail.

The investigation is still active, and detectives ask for anyone with information on this event to call the College Station Police Department at 979-764-3600.
