A man fatally shot himself after allegedly stabbing the mother of his children to death at her south Houston apartment early Saturday morning, authorities said.
Steven Hancock allegedly got into an argument with 29-year-old Delena Anderson around 7 a.m. at an apartment in the 4000 block of Griggs, said Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties.
At some point during the argument, Anderson's younger brother, who was asleep in another room with the pair's children, heard the noise and walked into the living room, where he saw his sister being assaulted by Hancock, Senties said.
Hancock then allegedly threatened Anderson's brother with an ice pick and pointed a pistol at him before fleeing the apartment. Anderson's brother called 911 and paramedics took his sister to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she died of stab wounds, Senties said.
Shortly after the 911 call, patrol officers received a call about a shooting in the 5400 block of Scott, about a half mile from Anderson's apartment, where they found Hancock dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Senties said.
No further information was immediately available. The case is still under investigation.
