February 19, 2015 - Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of a woman in an apparent attempted murder-suicide at 7777 Greenbriar about 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday (February 18).

The victim, Takita Kyshawn Mathieu, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene. A male suspect suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital in critical condition.

HPD patrol officers responded to a disturbance call with shots fired at the Greenbriar Apartments leasing office at the above address. Officers arrived and, as they entered the office, found Ms. Mathieu deceased and the wounded male. Witnesses told police Mathieu and the male were heard arguing moments before the shooting.
