HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A woman fatally shot her boyfriend Sunday during an apparent domestic assault incident in northwest Harris County, deputies said.
At approximately 6:25 a.m., deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Bammelwood Dr. in reference to reports of a shooting.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found a Black 27-year-old male with at least one gunshot wound dead inside an apartment.
They also found the man’s girlfriend at the scene. She told deputies he assaulted her. During the assault, the pair began fighting over a gun and the gun discharged and fatally struck the man in the upper torso, Sgt. D Wolfford said during a media briefing on the incident.
Investigators added that there is a history of domestic violence between the couple. The man was out on bond for assaulting the woman in December 2020.
