Crystal Barnes, 43, had been shot in the head before officers discovered her body on Sept. 20 in the 8000 block of Parkhurst Drive in northeast Houston, a medical examiner confirmed.
Police said the suspect, Joseph Williams, was found dead just three days later from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Williams was Barnes’ common-law husband, according to HPD sergeants.
