Teixeira is charged in the murder of Nicholas Khabra, who was gunned down on Oct. 23, 2017 outside a residence in the 14300-block of Crescent Road. He later died in hospital.

Teixeira was arrested when found residing in Oroville, Calif. in late November 2019.

Sgt. Frank Jang, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said during the arrest Teixeira tried to evade police forces, which included three SWAT teams, detectives from the sheriff’s office and the U.S. Marshals.

Teixeira and a male, later identified as Jeff Guerrier, age 30 of New York, exited the residence after several minutes. Teixeira did not comply with BCSO orders and got into a vehicle on the property and then rammed a BCSO armoured vehicle with his vehicle.
