SPRING, Texas — A man has been charged with murder after a woman was shot to death Thursday at his home in Spring.
It happened at about 11 a.m. at a house in the 4900 block of Fox Mill Lane.
Investigators said the 36-year-old woman was living at the home with a married couple and at some point, the husband, Philip Beach, pulled out a gun and shot the woman multiple times. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The husband and his wife were questioned and deputies believe the wife witnessed the shooting. It was initially reported to 911 operators as an accidental shooting, detectives said. Investigators said Beach admitted to shooting the woman and said it might have been related to mental health issues.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office announced later Thursday night said that Beach had been charged with murder and was placed in the Harris County Jail.
The relationship between the woman and the couple is not clear, according to investigators, but they did mention they were friends.
