A woman was found dead inside her home more than nine hours after bullets struck her home located on Houston’s south side, according to investigators.<\/p>\n
Princella Ross, 65, was found unresponsive inside the home on Beran Drive after a caregiver arrived to check on her, according to police and family members.<\/p>\n
First responders initially were called around 9:30 a.m. for what was believed to be a medical emergency. The Houston Police Department said it later determined Ross had been shot.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Charles Lamont said investigators believe the shooting happened roughly nine or 10 hours before Ross was discovered. No 911 call was received around the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n
“It looks like a safe neighborhood, but residents say they hear gunshots all the time,” Lamont said. “That’s why there was no 911 call.”<\/p>\n
A family member, who declined to be identified because of safety concerns, said Ross initially believed a hole in her left arm was related to her diabetes or insulin. Police later determined it was a bullet wound.<\/p>\n
Family members said Ross was a mother of three and grandmother of 10.<\/p>\n
Her daughter described the loss as devastating.<\/p>\n
“Empty. Loss. I don’t know how to feel. I’m pissed off,” she said.<\/p>\n
Police said investigators are searching the neighborhood for surveillance video and other evidence. No arrests have been announced.<\/p>\n
Investigators have not determined whether Ross was the intended target. Police said her home was the only one on the block struck by gunfire overnight.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the shooting or the people responsible is urged to contact Houston police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman was found dead inside her home more than nine hours after bullets struck her home located…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[146535,56,58,57,146533,146532,76582,146536,146534],"class_list":["post-420837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-charles-lamont","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-lamont","tag-princella-ross","tag-ross","tag-sgt","tag-the-houston-police-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
