The Houston Police Department is investigating a possible murder-suicide at 2417 Jamestown Mall. HPD Homicide Division Sergeant A. Lopez and Detective N. Sharp report that officers responded to a welfare check at an apartment at 2417 Jamestown Mall around 1 a.m. on April 1, 2024.
Family and friends of the couple who lived in the apartment informed officers they entered the apartment after not hearing from the couple since around 1 a.m. on March 31. Inside the apartment, they found a man and woman unresponsive inside. HPD says both suffered at least one gunshot wound.
Paramedics reached the scene and pronounced the 34-year-old man and 34-year-old woman deceased. HPD says the female victim and male suspect were common-law married. According to authorities, the preliminary investigation suggests the male shot the female before shooting himself.
