Mother killed, 4-year-old shot in west Houston apartment
Police are searching for the person who killed a mother and shot her 4-year-old daughter Friday morning inside their west Houston apartment.
The shooter possibly forced his way into the apartment in the 1800 block of Barker Cypress around 4:15 a.m., according to Houston Police Department Lt. Christopher Bruce. He went upstairs and started an argument with the woman before pulling a gun and opening fire, Bruce said.
After shooting the mother, the man turned his gun to the 4-year-old girl, whom he shot twice, Bruce said. He fled the apartment before police arrived.
A 10-year-old child who was also inside the apartment immediately called family members, who called 911. Paramedics pronounced the woman dead in the home and took the wounded child to a nearby hospital, where she was conscious and breathing as doctors treated her, Bruce said.
He did not offer any description of the suspected shooter. The incident appears to be isolated to the apartment, Bruce said.
Anyone with information is urged to call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
