EDNA, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities on Monday released new information about the man charged with the murder of a high school cheerleader who was stabbed to death in Edna, Texas.

Rafael Govea Romero is booked in the Jackson County Jail, charged with capital murder in the death of 16-year-old Edna High School cheerleader Lizbeth Medina.
Edna police said Romero is 23 years old and added that he is undocumented with an expired visa.
Romero was arrested over the weekend in Schulenberg, about an hour northwest of Edna.
It was also revealed that Lizbeth had been stabbed to death.
Officials said Romero was granted a $2 million bond.
On Dec. 5, Lizbeth's mother found her daughter dead in their Edna apartment. She said a few weeks prior, their home was broken into. She wondered if that was the motive again, but this time, Lizbeth happened to be home.
Jacqueline Medina claimed she knew something was wrong when her daughter didn't show up to the town's Lighted Christmas Parade, where she was supposed to perform with her cheer squad. That's when she said she rushed home.
The mother made the gruesome discovery and called police to the Cottonwood Apartments. First responders tried to save the teen, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
