Houston (CNN) A second suspect will face a charge of capital murder in connection with the Jazmine Barnes homicide investigation, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

Larry Woodruffe was taken into custody Sunday on separate drug possession charges, and "additional corroborating evidence" from the shooting investigation has prompted prosecutors to consider a capital murder charge, according to a news release from the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

"Credit is due the discipline and persistence of homicide investigators, who worked around the clock to corroborate tipster information with actual evidence," Harris County First Assistant District Attorney Tom Berg said in a statement.

Woodruffe, 24, will be in court Wednesday morning for the drug case and will have a preliminary hearing in the murder case on Thursday morning, according to online records.

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said she and her senior prosecutors will decide later whether to pursue the death penalty.
