HOUSTON (TMX) – Authorities in Texas are searching for a possible suspect in a Houston homicide who was seen in the area Thursday night wearing a Michael Myers mask from the “Halloween” films.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said deputies and EMS responded to a residence on Hawks Nest Drive in Houston late Thursday after a resident called 911 to report her father had been shot. They arrived to find the victim in the garage unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two juvenile children were inside the home and unharmed, the sheriff’s office said.
Homicide investigators spoke to witnesses and reviewed security videos from neighboring homes, and learned of a possible suspect who was seen in the area wearing a Michael Myers mask.
Neighbors had heard the gunshots, as well as the children in the home. Investigators then learned the children’s mother, the victim’s estranged wife, had been murdered in August.
The children were released to their grandmother.
The sheriff’s office said the suspect’s identity and motive are currently unknown.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward or submit an anonymous tip.
