Description
A 23-year-old man died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after fleeing Harris County Precinct 4 constable deputies responding to a family disturbance in Houston early Sunday morning.
On November 1, 2026, at approximately 1:30 a.m., deputies responded to the 14900 block of Carols Way following reports that a man had threatened his girlfriend with a weapon, allegedly threatening to kill both her and himself.
According to Harris County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Brown, the man was outside the residence when deputies arrived and fled on foot.
Deputies pursued him for approximately one block before he reportedly produced a handgun and shot himself in their presence.
The 23-year-old was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Investigators said there was no indication that any deputies discharged their firearms during the incident.
Due to the circumstances surrounding the death, the Harris County Sheriff's Office Homicide Division is investigating the apparent suicide as a death in custody.
Once the investigation is completed, the findings will be forwarded to the Harris County District Attorney's Office for review.
No additional information was immediately available.
