A man has been charged with capital murder following the fatal shooting of two women and one man at an apartment in West Houston on Saturday afternoon.
The Houston Police Department reported that officers responded to a 9-1-1 call around 3:10 p.m. regarding a home invasion in progress at 10580 Hammerly Boulevard. Fernandez Hernandez, the caller and tenant, claimed he had shot three intruders in self-defense. However, further investigation revealed a different story.
SUGGESTED: Escapee from Clemens Unit Trusty Camp captured after midnight breakout in AngletonAuthorities determined Hernandez had shot three of his family members inside the apartment. The victims include a 65-year-old woman who lived in the apartment, a 43-year-old woman, and a 38-year-old man. Their identities are pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
