Conroe police say a 52-year-old woman was later discovered shot to death in the residence, while her 5-year-old grandson was found unharmed inside. Police Sgt. James Waller says Denise Russell was the mother of the ex-girlfriend of the 25-year-old gunman, Joseph William Alain of Bellaire.
Officers on Monday afternoon went to a house after a 911 call disconnected. Conroe police say an officer heard an argument inside before a 24-year-old woman ran out. Authorities say believe she is the ex-girlfriend and the boy’s mother.
When police confronted the man inside, they say he pointed a them, prompting them to open fire and kill the suspect.
