On December 7, 2024, at about 12:30 a.m., 43-year-old Dustin Nelson was shot and killed while confronting burglary suspects at his home on Champagne Circle in Tomball, Texas. After being shot, Nelson went to a neighbor for help; a deputy arriving home saw him with an apparent gunshot wound and called 911, but Nelson died before paramedics arrived.

Investigators say an unknown number of suspects were involved. Officers are interviewing witnesses and searching for Nelson’s roommate, who was not home during the incident. No arrests or suspects have been publicly named and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.

Nelson was born March 28, 1981, in Houston and worked as a project manager. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth, children Elisa and Justin, grandsons Kaiden Hughes and Kashush Rodriguez, and other family.
