Early Sunday in Crosby, a 26-year-old woman was found shot to death inside a home on Kennings Road after a frantic 911 call reported an intruder and gunfire, authorities said.
Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched around 4:15 a.m. to a shooting-in-progress call in the 3000 block of Kennings near Bohemian Hall Road. According to investigators, the homeowner told 911 that someone had entered his house, attacked him and then shot his girlfriend. He did not provide any description of the alleged attacker. The woman, who investigators said had been staying at the home for roughly three weeks, was found with multiple gunshot wounds.
Deputies discovered the victim dead inside the home with gunshot injuries, and detectives planned to interview the homeowner later Sunday morning, according to ABC13. No suspect was in custody, and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the case remains an active investigation.
Investigators seek tips and video
Deputies secured the scene and collected evidence while detectives worked to piece together what led up to the deadly shooting. Authorities are asking neighbors and drivers who were in the area around the time of the incident to check for anything that might help them connect the dots.
Anyone with information, surveillance footage or dash-cam video from the area is asked to call HCSO’s non-emergency line at (713) 221-6000 or contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office and Crime Stoppers of Houston.
Crosby area has seen other shootings
The shooting is the latest in a series of violent incidents to rattle the Crosby area. In one high-profile case, a gathering at a local gas station turned into a mass shooting in April 2025, leaving one person dead and several others wounded, according to Click2Houston. In the wake of repeated incidents, local law enforcement has urged residents to cooperate with investigations and share information that could prevent further bloodshed.
HCSO investigators said Sunday that this latest case remains under active investigation and again asked anyone with information to contact the agency. This is a developing story and will be updated as officials release more details.
