Man fatally stabbed after Texans viewing party

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The search for suspects after a man is stabbed to death in a neighborhood where a huge Houston Texans watch party was going on.

That stabbing happened Sunday night on the north side. The party was happening in a yellow house in the 4700 block of McEwen near Cavalcade. But once things spilled out into the street, the victim was stabbed two doors down, in front of his own house.

Neighbor Jerry Laramore said, "Every time there's a ball game, there's a lot of people out there."

Laramore says waking up to a lot of noise outside his window during a Texans game, is not unusual. But Sunday night, there was more than noise.

"I heard them fighting," said neighbor Vickie Cruz. "I just heard bottles, slamming bottles. That's what I heard was cracking bottles."

Police say after the Texans game wrapped up, officers got a call for help. They arrived to break up what cops describe as a large street brawl. But before they got to the scene, one man was stabbed. Family rushed him to Ben Taub Hospital, where he later died.

"Oh yeah, I knew him well. He called me uncle," said Laramore. "I'm not really his uncle but he called me uncle. All the kids do."

The victim's name isn't being released until his entire family is notified. His sister told me he was just 20 years old, and the father of a two-year-old baby girl.

"He was a really nice guy," said neighbor Joann Chapa. "I can't believe this happened to him. He never harmed nobody, he never did nothing to nobody."

Cruz just chatted with the young victim on Sunday, and now asks the same question police are working to answer as well.

"When his sister told me this morning I just broke down crying," she recalled. "I said, 'What happened?'"

The suspect is still at large. Police say they are following up on leads, but anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Elderly couple stabbed at NW Harris Co. home

  Crystal KobzaHOUSTON (KTRK) -- The search is on for a man who stabbed an elderly couple in their garage in northwest Harris County last night.

It happened around 9:15pm at a home on Walters and Brimwood. Harris County sheriff's deputies say the couple had pulled into their garage and were unloading groceries when a man jumped them and stabbed them both.

Deputies say the husband, who's in his 70s, was stabbed multiple times and was last listed in critical condition. The wife, who's in her 60s, was cut multiple times and is said to be stable, but very traumatized over what happened.

The couple was taken to Ben Taub Hospital for treatment.

As for the suspect, deputies have few leads.

"At this time, the only thing we have is that it's a black male. It's the only description we have at this point," said Sgt. Greg Pinkins with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "We're still trying to locate possible witnesses that may have seen something."

Deputies added the couple are Asian and because of the language barrier, they had a hard time getting more information.

According to the couple's neighbors, they just moved into this home about six months ago and were in the process of remodeling. Detectives say they're looking into who was in the home recently doing work. They believe there could be some connection there.

At this point, authorities believe the motive was robbery.

If you have any information, you're being asked to call Crime Stoppers.
