Two People Found Shot to Death Inside Southeast Houston Home

Investigators say an unidentified third party likely shot the victims and are reviewing exterior security footage while the suspect remains at large.

Overview

  • Houston police assigned to the Southeast Patrol Division entered a home in the 12800 block of Glen Hollow Drive after a reported shooting and discovered a man and a woman dead from gunshot wounds.
  • Officers responded around 2:20 a.m. Sunday, forced entry into the residence, and Crime Scene Unit investigators processed evidence at the scene into the morning.
  • Detectives say no weapons were recovered and they do not believe the victims shot each other, so they are operating on the premise that an unidentified third party shot both people and fled.
  • Investigators noted several visible security cameras around the property and are working to recover and review that footage as a primary lead while no suspect description has been released.
  • Police describe the case as an isolated incident that does not pose an ongoing threat to the public and ask anyone with information to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers; authorities have not linked this shooting to other recent local fatal shootings.
