    Suspect turns himself in after killing kids, including baby, at Texas City apartment

    Houston Chronicle

    Three children, including a baby, were found shot to death at a Texas City apartment Thursday evening and the man believed responsible called police from Houston to turn himself in.

    The children and a woman wounded in the shooting were found after a relative called police around 6:15 p.m. for a welfare check to the Pointe Ann Apartments in the 1200 block of 10th Street, authorities said.

    The slain kids were identified as an infant girl, a toddler boy and a 5-year-old girl, according to a Texas City Police Department news release.

    The woman was rushed to University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston with a gunshot wound to the head.

    Texas City police spokesman Lt. Kenneth Brown said the mother is in stable condition at a hospital but is not yet able to speak to investigators. Her injuries were severe, he said.

    Detectives identified 27-year-old Junaid Hashim Mehmood as a suspect in the deaths. He called police near El Dorado Boulevard and Gatebrook Drive to turn himself in, officials said.

    Mehmood dialed authorities at 10:17 p.m. and identified himself as the wanted man in the news reports. He allegedly said he killed his children and tried to kill his wife, a police official said. He gave his address and said he was unarmed.

    He has a rap sheet with multiple arrests in Galveston and Harris County since 2010, records show.

    He was arrested for hitting a girlfriend in 2014 and served 20 days in jail for that offense. The conditions of his sentencing made it illegal for him to possession a firearm, according to court documents.

    In 2015, Mehmood was arrested after shoving a family member and robbing him. He was sentenced that same year to serve three years after pleading guilty to a separate robbery charge.

    Meanwhile, the investigation continued at the apartment complex, which neighbors the Texas City Police Department headquarters on 9th Ave. N. The building was roped off by authorities for several hours.

    "It's a very intense scene over there. Everybody involved is either deceased or injured," Brown said.

    Person of interest in slaying of 3 Texas children charged

    By Associated Press

    TEXAS CITY, Texas – The father of one of three children found shot to death in Southeast Texas was charged Friday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said, but has not been named a suspect in the killings.

    Texas City Police Department said in a statement that 27-year-old Junaid Hashim Mehmood was arrested late Thursday, just hours after the slain children and their wounded mother were discovered by officers in an apartment in Texas City. The mother, 24-year-old Kimaria Nelson, had been shot in the head.

    Mehmood had earlier been identified as a person of interest in the shootings, but he was arrested on an unrelated warrant. Police provided no information on the incident that led to the assault charge.

    Police have not identified Mehmood as a suspect in the killings but said more charges would come Friday. He was being held without bond.

    Police officers responding to a request for a welfare check at an apartment in Texas City Thursday evening discovered the bodies of 1-month-old Ashanti Mehmood, Prince Larry Brown, who would have turned 2 later this month, and 5-year-old Angela Pilot.

    Nelson was alive but unable to speak, police said.

    Mehmood is Ashanti's biological father and lived with the family at the apartment where the children were killed, police said. Texas City is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Houston.

    Nelson was taken the University of Texas Medical Branch in nearby Galveston. Police said she was in stable condition Thursday evening. A hospital spokesman said Friday he had no information for a patient by her name.

    Texas man charged in slayings of 3 kids, wounding of mother

    By Jamie Stengle and David Warren
    Associated Press

    DALLAS – The Texas man accused of killing three young children, including one who was his own child, and severely wounding their mother was charged Friday with capital murder, authorities said.

    Texas City police Chief Joe Stanton said Junaid Hashim Mehmood, 27, is facing two counts of capital murder along with a charge of aggravated assault. The children's mother was beaten and shot several times in the face and head with a high-powered pellet gun.

    Mehmood contacted police and was arrested late Thursday, just hours after the slain children and their mother — 24-year-old Kimaria Nelson — were discovered by officers in an apartment in Texas City.

    Mehmood had been identified as a person of interest in the deaths, but he was arrested on an unrelated warrant. Galveston County assistant district attorney Kevin Petroff said it was a misdemeanor warrant for providing alcohol to a minor.

    Mehmood was being held in the Galveston County Jail without bond. No attorney is listed for Mehmood in jail records.

    Police officers responding to a request for a welfare check at the apartment on Thursday evening discovered the bodies of 1-month-old Ashanti Mehmood, Prince Larry Brown, who would have turned 2 later this month, and 5-year-old Angela Pilot. They had been beaten and stabbed, according to the Galveston County medical examiner's office.

    Nelson was alive but unable to speak, police said.

    Police said Mehmood is Ashanti's biological father and lived with the family at the apartment. Texas City is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Houston.

    Authorities said they have not confirmed a motive in the attack but added they're reviewing a social media post by Mehmood indicating he had become enraged after being fired from his job. He had worked at a Goodwill store in nearby League City, police said. It's not clear when he may have been fired.

    Nelson was taken the University of Texas Medical Branch in nearby Galveston. Police said she was in stable condition Thursday evening. A hospital spokesman said Friday he had no information for a patient by her name.

    Stanton said Mehmood cooperated with detectives who interviewed him.

    "He went into details with our investigators as far as his involvement," Stanton said.

    Records show Mehmood has had previous arrests for offenses that include assault. Court records show that in 2015, Mehmood was convicted of assault causing bodily injury for shoving a family member. He was also convicted a year earlier for assault causing bodily injury for striking a girlfriend — not Nelson — with his hand. Following both convictions, the court said it was against the law for him to have a firearm.

    He was also convicted of robbery in 2015.

    This version of the story corrects to say the children were stabbed and beaten, not shot.

    Man used screwdriver, hammer to kill 3 children in Texas City, documents show

    By Cory McCord

    TEXAS CITY, Texas - Chilling details were released Monday detailing a grisly scene in TexasCity that left three children dead and a mother injured.

    Junaid Hashim Mehmood is charged with capital murder of multiple persons. Authorities said Mehmood, 27, killed his biological daughter, 6-week-old Ashanti Mehmood, 1-year-old Prince Larry Brown and 5-year-old Angela Pilot. Mehmood is also accused of beating Kimaria Nelson and shooting her multiple times in the face with a high-powered pellet gun. Nelson, 24, is the mother of all three children.

    Around 6:30 p.m. Thursday, police responded to reports of a possible dead child at the Pointe Ann Apartments at 1225 10th St. N., in Texas City.

    Authorities said Mehmood's brother made the call to police after finding a large amount of blood on the walls and floors of the apartment when he showed up to check on his brother.

    Police said the three children were found dead inside the apartment and a trail of blood led to a locked bathroom door. Inside the bathroom, Nelson was found covered in blood.

    Officials said Nelson was shot in the face with an airsoft gun multiple times. Doctors said small pellets were found embedded in her head and face.

    Houston police dispatchers told Texas City police that Mehmood called 911 and turned himself in just hours after the crime, according to court documents. He told authorities where he was and waited for them to show up and take him into custody.

    Mehmood admitted to stabbing the children to death, according to court records.

    He said he stabbed Prince in the heart and chest multiple times with a screwdriver and he struck Angela on the head with a hammer and stabbed her with the screwdriver. He also told authorities that he broke one of Angela's arms.

    Mehmood told authorities that he killed Ashanti, but couldn't remember how he did it, according to court documents.

    Autopsies confirmed Mehmood's accounts, officials said.

    Grandfather grieving after his 3 grandchildren were murdered in Texas City

    It’s hard to imagine how anyone can continue living a normal life after an immense tragedy. Taurus Nelson is trying to do just that

    By David Gonzales
    KHOU News

    TEXAS CITY, Texas — It’s been a week since the bodies of three young children were discovered inside a Texas City apartment.

    Five-year-old Angela Pilot, 2-year-old Prince Brown and one-month-old Ashanti Mehmood died after being stabbed and beaten.

    Their mother, Kimaria Nelson, is still in the hospital recovering after being shot in the head, arm and leg.

    Ashanti’s father, 27-year-old Junaid Mehmood, has been charged with capital murder.

    It’s hard to imagine how anyone can continue living a normal life after an immense tragedy. Taurus Nelson is trying to do just that.

    “It’s been horrific,” Nelson said. “It’s just been long, long. It’s terrible.”

    Nelson is the victims’ grandfather.

    He has since returned to work but can’t keep his mind off his three grandchildren.

    “Just trying to hold up for everybody because it’s rough, man. It’s real rough," Nelson said.

    On Nov. 23, 2018, Nelson met the newest member of his family for the first time. Ashanti would join big brother Prince and big sister Angela in sharing a piece of his heart.

    Less than six weeks later, his heart was shattered after learning all three had been murdered.

    “I mean, at this point now, I can’t believe my babies are gone and my daughter is going through this. It’s unreal,” Nelson said.

    Nelson doesn’t think Kimaria is fully aware of what happened to her kids.

    “Trying to have to tell her and trying to figure out how and when. What’s going to be a good time to tell her,” Nelson said. “I’m quite sure it’s going to be devastating. They’re her babies. She took care of her babies. She’s a good mother.”

    Nelson feels the attention on his family has already faded unlike the focus other high-profile murder cases involving children like that of Jazmine Barnes.

    “They’re still talking about that case, and I have three grandkids that I have to bury," Nelson said. "It’s not, no support to me. It’s like it’s swept under the rug. I’m just shocked. Totally shocked.”

    He’s just asking for prayers and support as his family makes funeral arrangements.

    The family has set up a “Nelson Memorial Fund." If you would like to donate, visit any Amergy Bank location and give them the account name.

    A fundraiser will also be held at 4 p.m. Jan. 26 at New Life Missionary Baptist Church.

    The church is located at 821 Laurel St. La Marque, Texas 77568.

    Family unsure if mother of 3 slain Texas City children knows their fate

    By Jay R. Jordan
    Houston Chronicle

    Taurus Nelson previously told the Houston Chronicle that he resented the fact that he was never able to see his newborn grandchild open her eyes before her father allegedly stabbed her to death.

    Now, he says his daughter – the only one to survive the early January attack that also left two of her other children dead – is only communicating by opening one of her eyes as she lays in an area hospital.

    Kimaria Nelson, 23, was severely injured when her boyfriend Junaid Hashim Mehmood, 27, allegedly stabbed to death newborn Ashanti Mehmood, Prince Larry Brown, almost 2, and Angela Pilot, 5, on Jan. 3 in a Texas City apartment.

    Ashanti Mehmood is Junaid Mehmood's biological daughter. He turned himself into authorities and is facing a capital murder charge in the children's death.

    Taurus Nelson said his family isn't exactly sure if Kimaria Nelson, 23, knows why she's in the hospital or even if she knows her own children are dead.

    Taurus Nelson said he and his family are refraining from communicating to her about them.

    There is good news for Kimaria: she's been taken off a ventilator and is breathing on her own, her father said.

    In an interview with the Houston Chronicle the day after the attack, Taurus Nelson said the youngest of the children – Ashanti Mehmood – was born on Nov. 23.

    "(I) never got a chance to see her with her eyes open," Nelson said outside his Texas City home on Jan. 4.

    Taurus said the family will have a memorial service for the children next week.

    Mehmood is facing life in prison or the death penalty if convicted of capital murder.
