   An “undocumented” man was arrested in the slaying of a Texas high school   
   cheerleader who was found dead in her bathtub last week after missing an   
   event with her squad, police said Sunday.   
      
   Rafael Govea Romero was nabbed Saturday in the small city of Schulenburg,   
   Tx. and charged with the murder of 16-year-old Lizbeth Medina in Edna,   
   about 75 miles away, cops said in a statement.   
      
   Edna Police Chief Rick Boone said his department and the Texas Rangers   
   caught the “undocumented male subject” after spending “countless hours” on   
   the case, but officials did not reveal the circumstances of the killing,   
   or say if Romero and Medina knew each other.   
      
   The teenager was found dead in her home on Dec. 5 by her mother, after   
   failing to march in a Christmas parade with the rest of her high school   
   squad, according to local reports.   
      
   The slain girl’s mom, Jacqueline Medina, told KAVU-TV last week that she   
   had discovered Lizbeth in the bathtub of the apartment they shared in the   
   small town in between Houston and San Antonio.   
      
   Jacqueline told the outlet she believed her daughter’s murder was tied to   
   a recent break-in at their unit.   
      
   “There was no laced drugs, there was nothing like that. My daughter was   
   found in a way that no mother should ever find their child,” Medina told   
   the station.   
      
   “Someone hurt my child, someone took my child from me.”   
      
   Police had released security footage of the suspect, who was wearing a   
   black “Volcom” sweatshirt and had a distinctive tattoo behind his right   
   ear.   
      
   The pictures appeared to match the mugshot of Romero, who was pictured   
   with thick dark hair and sporting a beard sans moustache.   
      
   A 23-year-old man by the same name was on probation after being arrested   
   by Schulenburg police for an unspecified second-degree felony, court   
   records show.   
      
   “Although Romero is apprehended, we recognize Lizabeth’s family and   
   friends are grieving and still need support from the community,” Boone   
   said in the statement.   
      
   “The citizens of Edna can now sleep in peace.”
