Houston Police Investigate Apparent Murder-Suicide That Killed Two in Northwest Houston

Detectives are seeking tips to clarify how a family argument escalated into gunfire.

Overview

  • Officers responded around 9 p.m. to the 3300 block of Peavine Circle and found two adult men with gunshot wounds.
  • Houston Fire Department personnel pronounced both men dead at the scene.
  • Investigators say a heated dispute preceded the shooting, and preliminary findings indicate one man shot the other before apparently shooting himself.
  • Police believe the men were related, possibly a father and his son-in-law, though authorities have not identified them or specified who fired first.
  • HPD Homicide Division has taken over the case and is asking anyone with information to contact the unit or Crime Stoppers.
