According to the suspect's brother, who was at the home at the time of the shooting, says he may have some mental illness and might have been off his medication.

The FBCSO Crisis Intervention Team had previously responded to the home several times for Family Violence calls.

"Fort Bend County has many resources to help those individuals who may be dealing with a mental illness, please reach out for help," said Sheriff Eric Fagan. "If you see something, say something. Resorting to this level of violence should never be the answer." 

At this time it is unknown what led up to the fatal shooting.
