HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man was shot and killed when he checked to see why his dogs were barking at his home in northwest Harris County.
The victim's mother said she tried to give him CPR but he died in the doorway of their home.
The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Keith Long, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
He tweeted at 5:55 a.m. deputies had been sent to the 11000 block of Holly Hill Lane, near Brittmoore and W. Little York Road.
According to the Long's mother, they heard a noise at the front door and the dogs started barking about 4:45 a.m. Her son went to check it out, and deputies said he was shot.
HSCO Major Susan Cotter said his mother didn't hear the gunshot but found Long in the doorway when she later went to check on him.
Cotter said officers are now searching for surveillance footage or possible witnesses that could lead them to a suspect.
The motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
This is a developing story.
