HOUSTON, TX — The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a blue alert for a 21-year-old man accused of killing a Nassau Bay police sergeant. He was arrested on Thursday afternoon in a home in the 4200 block of Heritage Trail.

Twenty one-year-old Tavores Henderson is accused of killing 43-year-old Sergeant Kaila Sullivan of the Nassau Bay Police Department.
