Theron Owens claimed he was targeted for the brutal killings of his mother and grandmother because he was black and from New Orleans. Turns out Mr. Owens was the brutal killer after all. His reasoning---he needed money to buy drugs.
Theron Owens originally told investigators he arrived at his mother’s residence in the 6600 block of Springfield Garden in northwest Harris County just before midnight Friday. He said he found his mother Joyce Owens, 63, and his grandmother Alberta Walker dead.
The women had been stabbed. A neighbor called police after hearing Owens' screams. Owens was handcuffed, taken into police custody for eight hours and questioned about the women’s deaths. He was later released without charges. Neighbors said the murder victims moved to Spring after fleeing Hurricane Katrina.

I lived close to this family for over ten years. I knew that he had something to do with their murders. I hope that Theron Owens gets the death sentence.
I remember Theron from high school in New Orleans. He was worshipped by his mother and grandmother. He always got what he wanted, mostly without limits. I guess he couldn't accept no for an answer after years of yes. Even as a teenager you could see his attitude was one of entitlement. You must set limits, discipline with love, not over spoil, and parent your children. If not you could turn another Theron Owens lose on the world, even worse, on you.
