JAKARTA - Authorities in Houston, United States (US) have charged a suspect in the murder of an off-duty deputy.

The suspect, who was previously identified by police asrock Palmer, was also charged with assault following the incident at the Little Caesars pizza shop.

The incident on Wednesday, July 10, began just after 10 p.m. when Harris County's deputies responded to the brutal attack on Little Caesars, said Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Head of Office, Mike Lee.

"What happened doesn't make sense," Lee was quoted as saying by ABC News, Friday, July 12.

The suspect came to the location to pick up the pizza he ordered. He was upset because the order was wrong," Lee said.

The suspect allegedly attacked the employee verbally, "Then took out a firearm and rebuked the employee with a gun and fled from the location," said Lee.

Employees at Little Caesars were able to identify the suspect's car based on the brand and model, color and license plate.

At that time, Deputy Fernando Esqueda saw the suspect's car, according to the identification of a pizza shop employee.

Esqueda then had a telephone conversation with other officers to let him see the suspect's vehicle.

But apparently Esqueda was immediately 'arrested' by the suspect. He was shot several times.

Another detective took Esqueda to hospital and was pronounced dead.
