December 15, 2022 - Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of a woman and apparent suicide of a man at 3900 Woodchase Drive that occurred about 2:15 a.m. today.

The female, Ja'Dee Annette Turner, 32, and the male, Milton Wayne Cole, 40, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant M. Arrington and Detective L. Kauffman reported:

Officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment at the above address and found Ms. Turner in her apartment and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Cole was found nearby and had suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Further investigation determined Turner and Cole had been involved in a previous relationship which had ended a few weeks ago. Cole hid in a vehicle at the above address and then lured one of Turner's family members out of the apartment through a phone call to meet in-person at another location. When the family member left the apartment, Cole unlawfully entered the apartment and shot Turner while she slept. Cole then shot himself.

Ms. Turner's family member found both Turner and Cole upon return to the apartment and called police.

At this time the department does not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public.
