Man shot to death inside Harris County home; Stepson, 17, taken into custody, deputies say

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A man was shot to death inside a Harris county home Thursday night.

At approximately 9:40 p.m. Harris County deputies were dispatched to the home, located in the 5900 block of Sattler Park.

On arrival, they located a man, Ismael Ramos, 42, dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies detained the man’s stepson, 17, who is believed to be the shooter, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez

Preliminary information suggests the men got into some sort of argument, which escalated into a physical altercation and ultimately, the shooting, said Sgt. Greg Pinkins. Investigators believe the argument stemmed from an instance which happened earlier in the day when Ramos discharged a gun in the backyard.

Many details remain unclear. The investigation into the man’s shooting death is in its early stages.
