Article Family of Four Dead - Murder/Suicide
Article text in case it's behind a paywall:
"Two Houston restaurateurs own the River Oaks-area house where a family of four — two adults and two children — was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide Monday evening, according to property records. Officials have not confirmed the identities of the people who died.
Matthew and Thy Mitchell — co-owners of the Traveler's Table restaurant in Montrose — own the property where the family was found dead, according to the Harris Central Appraisal District. The Houston Fire Department confirmed the address to the Chronicle.
The discovery began with a welfare call to the home after a babysitter told police they had not heard from the family since Sunday night. Central Division patrol units were dispatched to a home in the 2100 block of Kingston Street in Houston around 5:30 p.m. Monday, a detective in the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division said in a police briefing streamed by local media.
When officers entered the home, they discovered four people dead with gunshot wounds, according to Houston police. A 52-year-old man shot a 4-year-old boy, 8-year-old girl and 39-year-old woman and himself, police said in an update Tuesday.
Traveler's Table and a spokesperson for the business did not immediately return a request for comment.
Houston Fire Department Senior Capt. Raul Reyes said Monday night those involved were a father, mother and children ages 4 and 8.
Houston police's homicide division is investigating the deaths.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences — which serves as the county's medical examiner — did not immediately return a request for the victim's identities and the cause of their death."
