Houston home invasion leads to murder, one suspect was out on multiple bonds, police say

A Houston home invasion led to the death of a 29-year-old man and police say one of the suspects was out on bond for seven felony charges at the time of the fatal shooting.

Around 3:15 p.m. May 25, the Houston Police Department said officers responded to a call of gunshots at an apartment complex.

Once they arrived, police found two children and Tevin Watson, 29, who was suffering from at least one gunshot wound, in the apartment. According to authorities, police officers and paramedics gave medical care to Watson, and he was taken to the hospital where he died.

Officials said the children in the house were not hurt.

Investigators determined Qiriathiam Phillips, 25, and Consetta Rao, 24, were suspects in this case. Deputies said Phillips and Rao reportedly forced their way into the apartment and shot Watson.

On July 15, Phillips and Rao were both charged with murder in connection to the death of Watson. Rao was also charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon, authorities said.

At the time of the murder, police say Phillips was out on seven felony bonds. Some of his charges include being a felon in possession of a firearm and aggravated assault, according to KPRC.
