The identity of the deceased male suspect, 44, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
The female victim, 42, was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

The victim was on the phone with family members as she was having a domestic dispute with the suspect inside a townhome at the above address. During the phone call, the family members then heard multiple gunshots. HPD patrol officers and Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and found the victim with a gunshot wound and a male unresponsive with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
