Allegations
Meechaiel Khalil Criner is the leading suspect in the death of UT Austin student Haruka Weiser.

He was suspected of starting an unrelated fire near the UT campus on 4/4/2016, but was not charged. A firefighter recognized him from the Weiser video and reported it to police.
Police found a MacBook with a Portland sticker on it in Criner's locker at LifeWorks, and Haruka Weiser's MacBook also had a Portland sticker on it, police said in an arrest warrant affidavit.
Criner was raised by his grandmother in his youth and was constantly bullied.
