Houston wife charged with husband's murder

HOUSTON According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Marcia Jacqueline Dinanno called 911 around 3:20pm Sunday to report that a masked intruder shot her husband and attacked her at their home in the 12900 block of New Cypress Drive.

Deputies said they arrived and found Dinanno's husband -- 57-year-old Henry Joseph Breaux -- shot to death inside the home.

Dinanno was transported to an area hospital where she refused treatment, officials said. They then took her to the HCSO homicide unit for a statement.

The scene investigation contradicted Dinanno's statement, according to authorities, and she was charged with the murder of Breaux.   

Dinanno, 59, was being held Monday at Harris County Jail on $100,000 bond. She was slated to appear in the 232nd district court Tuesday.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact HCSO at 713-967-5810 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. All Crime Stoppers tipsters remain anonymous.
