Man charged in wife's shooting death last month reportedly killed himself Thursday

Thomas A. Quinlan, 58, had been charged with murder in the December shooting death of his wife, Donna Quinlan

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A man charged in the shooting death of his wife last month reportedly killed himself on Thursday.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says shortly before 10am Thursday they were contacted by security reporting that Thomas A. Quinlan came into the April Sound Subdivision going to his home on North April Waters. Security officers knew of the emergency protective order in place against Quinlan prohibiting him from being at the house.

Quinlan was arrested on December 30, 2012, for the shooting death of his wife, Donna Quinlan.

Deputies say when they arrived Thursday, they learned that no one was in the home other than Quinlan and they could not make contact with him. SWAT deputies entered the home and say they found Quinlan dead of what is believed to be a self-inflicted wound.

Quinlan was released from the Montgomery County Jail on January 3 after posting the $500,000 bond set at the time of his arrest last month.

Deputies say the investigation continues.

Man charged in common-law wife's shooting death

James McCarr Robinson, 59, is charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The common-law husband of a woman who was fatally shot in northeast Houston has been charged in her murder.

Police say the suspect, James McCarr Robinson, shot 31-year-old Shanelle Cormier at his home in the 4000 block of Liberty at around 8:50am Monday.

Police say Cormier was fleeing from Robinson and ran to a neighbor's house seeking help after sustaining a gunshot wound. Robinson went to the neighbor's house, pointed a pistol at him and then dragged Cormier back to his residence, according to police. Gunshots were then heard from inside the residence.

As SWAT was surrounding the area, Robinson walked out of the house and surrendered without incident. The victim was found deceased inside the residence.

Police say Robinson admitted to fatally shooting and killing her because he was mad at her.

Robinson, 59, is charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
