==========
Overeth Riascos Barahona, 40, faces a first-degree murder charge after a fatal car crash in Sugar Land. The incident occurred when Barahona, along with two other men, allegedly burglarized a home in Missouri City and led the police on a high-speed chase, resulting in the death of a 56-year-old Sugar Land Public Works employee, Joseph Aponte.
