HUFFMAN, Texas (KTRK) -- Sheriff's deputies are investigating a homicide in northeast Harris County where a man was found shot to death.

The incident happened shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday on the 23000 block of FM 2100 in Huffman.

Deputies said the property's manager was letting a man live in a travel trailer near the back of his property. He said the two were involved in some type of disturbance when the man threatened him with a knife.

The property manager told deputies he shot the man at least twice, claiming self-defense. Deputies said he's cooperating with homicide detectives.
