A west Houston man died Sunday after he was shot near his home following an argument with his wife and encounter with his neighbor, police told KHOU.
The man and his wife got into an argument in their home, according to the Houston Police Department. The wife got into a car, drove away and crashed the car a few blocks down the road.
She had minor injuries, and police have not determined whether they were from the crash or the argument with her husband, according to KHOU.
Police said that when the man saw his wife’s accident, he ran from the home toward her car.
A homeowner near the car accident saw the man running and yelled for him to stop. The husband kept running and reportedly had something in his hand, according to police.
The homeowner said he feared for his life and shot the man, police told KHOU.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he later died, according to police.
The homeowner was taken into police custody for questioning. The case will go before a grand jury, police said.
