HPD: Three Young Children Looking for Food Lead Police to Their Parents' Bodies

Three young children led police to their parents' apartment where a suspected murder-suicide left the couple dead about 24 hours before discovery, authorities said.

  • Police found a 26-year-old man and woman dead from gunshot wounds inside a west Houston apartment complex on Monday after their three children led officers to them.
  • Officials suspect the man took the woman's life prior to his own, with authorities estimating the couple had been deceased for about 24 hours when they arrived shortly after 5 p.m.
  • Officers found the children, ages 3, 2, and 1, outside the complex, and neighbors reported the children had been sitting in the heat and looking for food for hours.
  • Larry Crowson of the Houston Police Department indicated that the evidence suggests the man fatally wounded the woman prior to taking his own life, and Child Protective Services was notified to assess the children's care.
  • The children are currently under their grandmother’s care as the investigation proceeds, and officials encourage anyone with relevant information to reach out to the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
