Teen's Drug Dealer Testifies in Murder Trial

In a shocking turn of events, a trial for an 18-year-old man accused of capital murder has begun in Galveston County. Uriah Urick faces charges in connection with the death of his girlfriends grandmother, Tammy King. A key witness, Uricks alleged drug dealer, testified that Urick paid him $1000 to help him and his girlfriend, Tara King, escape after the murder. Both were later arrested in Laredo and charged with capital murder. Investigators believe the murder was sparked by an argument over Tara not wanting to attend school. Surveillance footage shows Tara purchasing hair dye, and a third suspect, Travis Hodge, has been arrested for helping them evade law enforcement. Hodge agreed to testify for the state, sharing details of a conversation with Urick and claiming Urick gave him two firearms, one allegedly used in the murder. The trial continues as more evidence is presented.
