The Harris County Medical Examiner has shared new details on the death of a family of four tied to a prominent Houston restaurant.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences determined Thy Mitchell, along with children Maxwell and Maya, died by homicide. All three had a gunshot wound to the head.
Matthew Mitchell, Thy’s husband and co-owner of Traveler’s Table and Traveler’s Cart, also died from a gunshot wound. But his death has been ruled a suicide.
Authorities have not detailed the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Houston police reported finding the family of four inside their River Oaks-area home Monday evening, describing the incident as a possible murder-suicide.
The deaths sent shockwaves through Houston’s restaurant community, where the couple helped turn Traveler’s Table in Montrose into one of the city’s better-known dining spots. In the days following their deaths, friends, customers and members of Houston’s hospitality industry gathered to remember Thy, who many described as the heart of the restaurant.
The case has also renewed conversations online around domestic violence, mental health and the ripple effects these tragedies leave behind for families and communities.
