A Texas man is in custody after Houston police officers found the bodies of a woman and a toddler at an apartment early Friday morning.
Assistant Chief James Bryant said family members of the woman, between 25 and 30, flagged down officers outside the west Houston apartment complex shortly before 3 a.m., KHOU reported.
Officers were met at the door by the man, who had blood on him and was brought in for questioning. A search of the apartment found the bodies of the woman and a little girl, between 2 and 4 years old.
Bryant said police were called to the apartment earlier in the evening by a neighbor who reported a disturbance.
Police have not released the identities of the victims or the man covered in blood or said what if any charges he might face.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified told KHOU the disturbance woke him up.
“It’s kind of like they were screaming and kind of arguing. It sounded to me like people were drunk coming in after Thanksgiving, you know, celebration somewhere,” the neighbor said. “But it was loud. You know, everyone was kind of either yelling at each other or yelling for somebody.”
