Jennifer Elaine McDougall, 30, was shot and killed on May 16, 2010, in the driveway of the family’s home in the Spring Creek Oaks neighborhood in northwest Harris County. Jennifer was seven months pregnant; her unborn daughter, due in July, also died from the shooting. Neighbors reported hearing screaming and gunshots and observed Jennifer and her husband, Michael Alan McDougall, in a physical struggle. Michael was arrested at the scene and charged with capital murder.

He was held without bail and reportedly told police Jennifer had it coming when taken into custody. Investigators have not released a motive and authorities said there was no evidence of prior domestic violence in the household. The couple had recently moved to Houston from Denver; their three children, ages 2, 4, and 8, were in the house at the time, did not witness the shooting, and were placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.

Does anyone have information about the family’s life in Houston or the events leading up to that evening?
