A man has been charged with capital murder in the killing of a Sunnyside woman and her son.
Police say Jeffery Prevost, 51, shot Sherry White, 51 and her son Kyle Lavergne, 20, Saturday about noon.
Police have told reporters that Prevost said he shot White, a girlfriend, out of jealousy and then shot Lavergne as he attempted to escape.
The shootings happened around noon in the 8900 block of Ferdinand.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
