Man Kills Family For Drug Money

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.
