We hear the latest from Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. According to Harris County Sheriff's Sergeant Ben Beal, deputies were contacted after a 66-year-old woman was discovered dead in the parking lot of an abandoned bank outside of Houston.

Around 3 a.m. the next morning, the girl called from a house roughly two and a half miles away from the bank, reporting that her cousin had raped her and left her unconscious. Beal stated that when the deputies who had investigated the bank crime scene approached the house, they identified a pickup truck that had been seen on camera leaving the scene of the shooting. The sergeant said that the cousin came outside with a knife and a revolver and surrendered as they were about to enter the house. After the suspect had been apprehended, deputies then discovered the girl's 42-year-old mother dead of a gunshot wound in a bedroom of the home. The girl was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital.

Since his arrest on October 16th for a parole violation, he has been held without bond.
