Upon arrival, officers discovered a deceased male inside the residence, later confirmed to be the suspect’s father.
According to investigators, the suspect remained on the scene and immediately surrendered to police.
He informed authorities that he had acted in self-defense during an altercation inside the home.
Law enforcement officials stated that the victim’s wife (the suspect’s mother) and grandmother were inside the residence at the time of the shooting.
However, authorities have not yet disclosed further details regarding their involvement or what led to the deadly encounter.
The suspect has been taken into custody as detectives work to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.

Under Texas law, individuals may use deadly force in self-defense if they reasonably believe they are facing an imminent threat to their life. Prosecutors will review the case to determine if charges will be filed or if the son’s actions fall under justifiable self-defense statutes.
The investigation remains active, and HPD urges anyone with additional information to contact law enforcement.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.

Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
