Homeowner killed, brother assaulted in Spring

Police search for two men believed involved

SPRING, Texas – A homeowner was killed and his younger brother was assaulted during a home invasion Sunday night in Spring.

The incident happened about 8:45 p.m. at a home in the 21500 block of Canvasback Glen Court in the Gosling Pines neighborhood.

According to Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables, someone reported a shooting at the home.

When authorities arrived, investigators said, they learned that two men forced their way into the home and demanded money. One of the men shot and killed the homeowner, identified as 33-year-old Adrianus Kusuma. The same man then beat Kusuma's younger brother.

Kusuma and his brother own the 'Sunny Side of the Street' restaurant on FM 2920, about a half mile from the brothers' home.
"He was in shock," neighbor Tammy Cameron said about the younger brother. "He had a black eye. His lip had blood around it, and his ankle. He was in shock."

Investigators said the men then grabbed some cash and fled the scene in a white car.

A source close to the investigation told Channel 2 News, Monday, that in August, an unknown assailant robbed the restaurant.

The Harris County Sheriffs Office is investigating whether to two crimes are connected.

"They didn't deserve to have that happen to them, just two hard working people trying to make money, chasing a dream," neighbor, Kadeer Jackson, said.

Anyone with information regarding the case was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
