The fatal shooting of a male at 1601 Bonnie Brae Drive about 4:05 p.m. on Monday (March 17) will be referred to a Harris County grand jury.
The identity of the deceased male is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
The adult male shooter was not injured.
HPD Homicide Division Sergeant C. Lamont and Detectives M. Providence and J. Robles reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at a residence at the above address and found an unresponsive male lying on the driveway. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the male deceased.
A preliminary investigation determined the male was burglarizing the residence while the home was unoccupied. When the homeowners returned and saw the male suspect on the property, one of them produced a firearm and shot the suspect.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and it was determined the case would be reviewed by a grand jury.
