Robert Graves, 35, is in jail, charged with assaulting a Harris County Sheriff’s deputy by biting him, but he’s at the center of a murder investigation, a prosecutor wrote in a court document requesting high bond. He was charged with beating up his girlfriend, Shanikia Johnson, last Friday. By the following Wednesday, she was dead.

The next day, swearing he couldn’t come up with the $5,000 in bail money, he was released on an unsecured bond. … Less than a week since the alleged assault and jail release, Johnson, a reading specialist at Southmayd Elementary School, was dead.”
