Richmond man fatally shot in home invasion, family left devastated
RICHMOND, Texas - Neighbors that live in one Richmond neighborhood say it is quiet and quaint. But just down Rippling Stream Lane, a family was left in shambles after a man was killed while his wife and kids were home.
"Anybody need help the neighbors, friend, me, the girls, he can do it. And now, we miss him," said Sana Zuri, the former mother-in-law to Mohammed Khador.
As a grandmother, she is grieving after her former son-in-law, she identified as 39-year old Mohammed Khodr, was killed. She told FOX 26, three people pulled up to the home, two got out, came to the door, and someone inside answered.
"They shot him three times in the kitchen. He tried to get his gun, but he could not make it," said Zuri.
Neighbors like Vasant Deo say this is a tragedy as the family put up security measures around the house after a recent break in.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office confirmed this happened in 2021. Now, Deo says they are helping the family in any way possible, including going into the home on Thursday morning to help Mohammed's wife get the keys out of her home.
Deo tells FOX 26 she did not want to go inside, because the house still looked like a crime scene as they did not have a chance to clean up since the shooting.
"We went to her house, and she said, ‘I need my car keys and the garage door has to be open.’ I wasn't sure what to do, but as a neighbor, I have to help her," said Deo.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office is describing this incident as a home invasion as they continue to look for a motive.
