Overview
- Houston police say the shooting in a subdivision near the 9600 block of Tidwell followed a suspicious-person call on Wednesday.
- Neighbors and builders had complained for weeks that a man was walking through backyards and entering homes still under construction.
- The homeowner told officers he confronted the man a second time near a wooded area and that the encounter turned physical.
- He says the man attacked him, so he drew a pistol and fired, and officers later found the man dead in a ditch near a playground.
- HPD and the Harris County District Attorney's Office are investigating, the homeowner has cooperated, and no charges have been announced.
