HOUSTON (AP) — Prosecutors seeking a capital
murder indictment against suspected spree killer
Angel Maturino Resendiz plan to present their evi
dence to a grand jury today.
Maturino Resendiz, 39, already is charged in two
slayings in Illinois, another in northeast Texas and
a 1997 case in Kentucky. Police say evidence links
the rail-riding drifter to five other slayings, includ
ing the December beating and stab- ^
bing death of Dr. Claudia Benton.
Harris County intends to try him
first for the slaying of Benton in her
Houston-area home, Lyn McClellan,
felony division chief of the Harris
County District Attorney’s Office, said
Wednesday.
“I think we will be seeking a capital
murder indictment,” McClellan said.
Maturino Resendiz already is charged
with burglarizing the Benton home.

pursue a murder charge until Maturino Resendiz,
also known by the alias Rafael Resendez-Ramirez,
was in custody and able to provide DNA samples.
Authorities say they found one of Maturino Re-
sendiz’s fingerprints in Benton’s stolen Jeep. Also,
some jewelry associated with Benton was among
dozens of pieces recovered from the suspect’s Mex
ican home.
Similar evidence links Maturino Resendiz to an
other Harris County slaying, the June death of Hous
ton schoolteacher Noemi Dominguez.
