HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A teenage girl and her older brother were shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend after an argument in Texas on Sunday morning, investigators say.<\/p>\n
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said that deputies responded to the shooting in the 200-block of West Canino Road, in north Harris County, after receiving the call at about 10:50 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n
Investigators said that initial information indicates that the 17-year-old girl was outside a home with a toddler when her 19-year-old ex-boyfriend, who was reportedly armed, arrived and a fight ensued.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the 17-year-old’s brother, who was 29 years old, exited the home and tried to de-escalate the situation. The brother then stepped in front of his sister to shield her from the ex-boyfriend before the ex-boyfriend shot both siblings and fled the scene, investigators said.<\/p>\n
Deputies said when they arrived at the scene, they began life-saving measures until EMS personnel arrived. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. The toddler was not harmed in the incident, authorities said.<\/p>\n
HCSO said that its patrol units, along with Humble Police Department officers and police dogs, found the suspect in the 8800-block of Will Clayton Road and took him into custody.<\/p>\n
HCSO officials said the investigation remains ongoing and possible charges are pending.<\/p>\n
