We are learning more about a 36-year-old man who remains hospitalized after police say he fatally shot the mother of his child and turned the gun on himself.
Police are investigating after a woman was found dead on E. 36th St. and a suspect shot himself in N. Houston, HPD says, adding a baby was with him.The Harris County District Attorney's Office has filed a murder charge against 36-year-old Antonio Cornell Williams, accused of fatally shooting the mother of his child before fleeing and shooting himself on Friday.On May 30, Houston Police Department patrol officers responded to the 700 block of East 36th Street in Independence Heights.
Officers were given a description of Williams and began an extensive search for him. About two miles from the scene off the North Freeway frontage road, the gunman was found, along with the small child. Officers approached Williams, but before he could be apprehended, he turned the gun on himself, HPD said. Williams was given medical care before being transported to the hospital for a self-inflicted gunshot wound.The victim's family says Thomas and Williams were not in a relationship. The two did argue, but never to this extent, the family said.This, however, is not the suspect's first run-in with law enforcement.
Fort Bend County records show that Williams was on house arrest after recently being released from prison for a felon in possession of a weapon charge after a seven-month sentence. Williams was also indicted, records show, in 2022 in the case of a 60-year-old woman who was fatally shot in New Year's Eve in 2020. The victim was the mother of his girlfriend at the time.28 minutes ago
