Authorities have identified a vehicle believed to be connected to a home invasion and murder earlier this week.

Estorffe, 29, was asleep in his home on Glen Rosa Drive when two men broke a window and entered in the back of the house. He was shot and killed while confronting them.

The couple and their two children were all at home during the invasion.

A light-colored four-door sedan is seen on surveillance video nearby around the time the break-in happened, according to Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls.



"We see the same vehicle enter the neighborhood before the 911 call took place," Nehls said.
