On April 17, 2015, Oscar Ballinas, 55, and his wife Eva Ballinas, 50, were found shot to death in their southwest Houston home. Police discovered the couple early in the morning. Their son, Kenneth Ballinas, 26, who lived in the house with his wife and their two young daughters, was arrested at the scene and confessed to shooting his parents while they were in bed; he did not give a clear motive.

Neighbors described the family as friendly and kind, and the killings stunned the community. Kenneth was charged with capital murder in the 182nd State District Court and legal proceedings were underway. The motive remains unclear and family members expressed disbelief and sorrow.
