HOUSTON – Authorities are investigating a tragic shooting that left a Houston couple and two young children dead at a residence in the River Oaks area.
According to the Houston Police Department, officers responded to a welfare check at a home located at 2113 Kingston Street around 5:25 p.m. on May 4.
The deceased individuals were identified as a 52-year-old man, a 39-year-old woman, an 8-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old boy, officials reported.
Preliminary evidence indicates the incident was a murder-suicide. Investigators believe the man shot the three victims before turning the weapon on himself.
The official identities of all four individuals have not yet been released, pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
However, property records linked the residence where the bodies were found to Matthew and Thy Mitchell.
Thy Mitchell’s sister, Ly Mai, released a post on Facebook Tuesday, confirming that Thy and her two children had passed away yesterday.
Investigators said the family’s babysitter and a family relative alerted authorities after they had not heard from the family since the previous evening.
When officers entered the residence, they discovered four individuals unresponsive, each suffering from gunshot wounds.
The Mitchells are prominent restaurant owners in the Houston area, known for two Montrose establishments, Traveler’s Table and Traveler’s Cart.
The couple’s restaurants have been featured on multiple Food Network programs, including Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. In 2023, one of the restaurant’s chefs appeared on Beat Bobby Flay, defeating the celebrity chef.
Officials have not yet released additional details regarding a possible motive.
Anyone with information related to this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
