Suspect caught, actor slain at home in Texas

AUSTIN, Texas -- Police say they have charged a 26-year-old man with capital murder and aggravated assault in the killing of Texas actor Lou Perryman.

The 67-year-old Perryman has appeared in such movies as "The Blues Brothers," ''Boys Don't Cry" and "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town."

Police Sgt. Joseph Chacon says 26-year-old Christopher Tatum showed up at a jail facility Thursday saying he was "pretty sure" he had killed the owner of a vehicle he had stolen. Police later found Perryman's body at a home.

Investigators say they do not believe Tatum and Perryman knew each other.

A jail official didn't know whether Tatum had an attorney.
