Texas Tech student Austin Hasten has been indicted in the murder of his neighbor, Michelle Terry.
Terry was found dead in her south Lubbock apartment when firefighters responded to a call of smoke coming from her apartment.
Hasten lived just two doors down from Terry.
When Hasten returned to the scene, about 45 minutes after fire crews arrived, he attacked a police officer and tried to steal his gun.
So far, Hasten has only been indicted on the murder charge and not with arson or assault on a police officer.
