HOUSTON — Homicide detectives are investigating a possible home invasion after a man found the body of his neighbor outside of a home in northeast Houston Monday morning.
The neighbor called 911 after finding 44-year-old Kelton Sam outside his home in the 4000 block of Reid Street.
Homicide investigators said a neighbor told them they heard gunshots around 2 a.m. but didn't see anything.
Police said the victim had been shot multiple times. There were signs of forced entry to the front door.
“We’re not sure if they actually went in and stole anything at this time,” HPD Sgt. Michael Arrington said.
Right now, he said they don’t have other witnesses who heard or saw the shooting. Police are asking people to be on the lookout for the victim’s car that appears to be missing from the home.
“We did find though from the neighbor that he does have a beige color Lexus RX330,” Arrington said. “It’s about a 2005 model that was taken from the residence possibly. We haven’t confirmed that.”
People who know anything that can help authorities is urged to call the department’s homicide division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
