Harris County Sheriff's officials are investigating the incident as a possible murder-suicide. FOX 26 reporter Jonathan Mejia was on the scene and reported that a 43-year-old woman and a 7-year-old child were found deceased inside their two-story unit. A 42-year-old man, initially transported to a hospital, was pronounced dead upon arrival. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez stated that the adult male had been experiencing mental health issues, including depression and unemployment.
