HOUSTON, Texas — Two adult men were found dead Saturday night inside an apartment in the Jersey Village area, and investigators are examining the case as a possible murder-suicide, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were dispatched around 9:51 p.m. to the 12500 block of Seattle Slew Drive for a welfare check. Upon arrival, they discovered both men unresponsive inside the apartment with apparent gunshot wounds. One victim appeared to be in his 20s and the other in his 30s.
