“A man is dead after investigators say a homeowner woke up to find him inside a house early Wednesday morning, leading to a confrontation that ended in a shooting. According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, deputies with Precinct 4 responded around 5:45 a.m. to a home in the 16900 block of Spring Creek Oaks. When they arrived, they found an unidentified man on a walking trail behind the home. Investigators say he had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say the homeowner told deputies he woke up and discovered a man inside his house wearing a mask and gloves. Investigators say the two got into a physical fight inside the home that moved outside. At some point, the homeowner went back inside, but officials say the suspect returned to the property, leading to a second confrontation in the backyard.” (05/06/26)
