3 Texas Children Become Orphans After Both Parents Are Murdered
A Halloween night turned deadly in Houston after a father of 3 was killed in his garage as his young children were just feet away.
Witnesses reported seeing a suspicious person wearing a Michael Myers mask near the scene - the same creepy mask made famous by the horror movie "Halloween." This detail added an extra layer of fear to the already terrifying incident. Detectives are trying to figure out if the masked person is the shooter.
A SHOCKING TWIST
What makes this case even more shocking is the mysterious connection to an earlier tragedy. The father who was shot and killed was actually a person of interest in his estranged wife's murder, which happened just a few months ago in August. Now, both parents have died, leaving their three children without their mom and dad.
CHILDREN UNHARMED
The good news is that the victim's two children who were in the house during the shooting were not hurt. A toddler who was with a relative was also safe. But the loss of both parents in just a few months is a devastating blow to this young family.
KILLER STILL ON THE RUN
Investigators are still working to understand why this happened. The man, who was in his 30s, is now a victim himself after being previously connected to his wife's unsolved murder. The case continues to develop, and local law enforcement is asking anyone with information to come forward.
