Houston police have taken a DNA sample from another person of interest in the Acres Homes murders.

A crime scene unit with a camera and equipment for DNA testing arrived at an acres homes church late Thursday afternoon.

That’s where a man that police had been looking to question about the recent murders of six women agreed to meet with them.

The meeting was arranged by activist Quanell X.

“He understands that this sketch looks like almost his kissing twin brother if he ever had one, but absolutely this brother is saying its totally not him,” said Quanell X.

Since the latest body was found eight days ago, Houston police have blanketed the Acres Homes area.

If this is a serial killer, they say they want to find him before he strikes again.

“Well that’s why we have a task force formed, to try and get as many people as we can to assist in this case,” said HPD’s Clifford Blomberg.

And because of the $20,000 reward, they are receiving many leads.

The new person of interest was allegedly turned in by a family member.

“Which he cooperated in fully today. We obtained some samples from him for comparison. We will have them analyzed to see if anything develops from that end,” said Blomberg.

Since he was not charged, 11 News will not reveal his name or his face.

“He was one of our many tips that we have gotten in the last few days,” Blomberg said.

In fact, more than a handful of men have been questioned about the murders and have been asked to submit to a DNA test.

Pastor Chris Wright knows the severity of these crimes but wonders if harassment is taking place.

“We want this monster among us caught, but we do not want the citizens of Acres Homes are any other neighborhood to go through undue harassment because of this situation,” said Wright.
