Overview
- A 12-year-old girl called 911 late Thursday night after finding her mother unresponsive, and deputies and EMS found the child unharmed outside and two adults dead inside separate rooms.
- Harris County homicide investigators say the scene is looking like an apparent murder‑suicide, with one weapon recovered and no signs of forced entry or evidence of other people involved.
- Authorities believe the deceased were the girl’s mother and her stepfather and that all three lived at the residence, but officials have not released the victims’ names or causes of death.
- Detectives are reviewing surveillance video, interviewing neighbors and checking records for prior domestic‑violence calls as they work to establish a precise timeline of events.
- Neighbors and a family friend told reporters they had seen prior disturbances and that an older sister is in Venezuela, but investigators have not confirmed any previous calls for service and the probe remains active.
