CHANNELVIEW, Texas — Two men were found dead after a stabbing in Channelview Thursday night, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
This happened at about 10:30 p.m. on Avenue D just north of the East Freeway.
Deputies said they spent more than 10 hours at the crime scene but didn’t have enough evidence to charge anyone in the double homicide. They are hoping the autopsy results will tell them who stabbed who.
Eva Michel said one of the victims was her husband and the other was her roommate. She claims her roommate tried to kick her out Thursday night.
“Told my children’s father, ‘Is there any way you can pick me up?’ He said ‘Nah. He’s going to give you your money you worked hard for,’” she said.
Michel claims her roommate, who she calls David, pulled out a knife and stabbed her husband when he arrived.
“David tried to come at me. I popped him in the eye five times with a flashlight,” she said.
Her husband and roommate were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said both victims had knives.
“I have no idea who stabbed David but it will come out of the woodwork,” Michel said.
There might be other witnesses too.
“We have information that has not been confirmed that there was another adult female and a young child that left the residence prior to deputies arriving,” HCSO Sgt. Greg Pinkins said.
Investigators asked that woman to come talk to detectives. They think she can help put the pieces together and explain why two people are now dead.
