A gay student attending Cinco Ranch
High School in Houston was found shot dead last week; his alleged
killer is another gay teen he met on the Internet, the Houston
Chronicle reports.
Authorities say 19-year-old Spenser
Vogt was shot dead with two gunshots to the head. His body was found
late Wednesday wrapped in a tarp and dumped on Houston's south side.
Lee Carl Banks III, also 19, has
confessed to the murder, police say. Banks was stopped by police
near Cairo, Georgia driving Vogt's Mitsubishi Eclipse early Monday.
He was in possession of the .38-caliber pistol police believe was
used to shoot Vogt.
The two men allegedly met on the
Internet at a gay hook-up site. Police believe the murder took place
in Bank's home and searched the residence last week.
Banks confessed to killing Vogt and
told investigators where he had dumped the body. Authorities are
currently working on returning Banks to Houston to face a murder
charge.
Vogt's mother reported him missing to
police on March 28, a Saturday.
