HOUSTON, TX – In a tragic incident that unfolded around 3 a.m., a man lost his life during a home invasion in a residence located on the 5300 block of Castlecreek Lane in Houston, according to police officials. The victim’s wife and two children were present in the house during the event, but thankfully they remained unharmed.
After spending the evening in his backyard, the victim had just walked into the house when the intruders barged in. Around 2:30 a.m., an unidentified number of suspects invaded the house, which subsequently created a loud noise.
