Repairman found shot to death in Humble after family says he did not come home from work: HCSO

HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- A repairman was found shot to death in a Humble home inside a gated community, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office said deputies were flagged down around 10:45 p.m. on Thursday after family members of a repairman said they were worried when he didn't come home from work.

Deputies said the work truck was tracked down to a home on Crathie Drive in the Balmoral subdivision.

When deputies went inside, they said they found the man shot to death. HCSO said the man was in his early 30s.

HCSO Sgt. Greg Pinkins said they were told the homeowner's son was supposed to meet the repairman at the home around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.

"The homeowner's son was supposed to meet the repairman here so he could fix a leak at the residence. We do have information that a black vehicle, a sedan, was seen leaving the residence. That is not the vehicle that the son was driving based on his family members. We are working on trying to ID that vehicle and who may have been driving that vehicle," Pinkins explained.

The sheriff's office said they have not been able to get in touch with the homeowner's son. So far, they said they are still working to figure out what happened.
