Bryan, Texas, was rocked by a family homicide on January 17, 2026, when 52-year-old Nancy Winn and 61-year-old Gerald Winn were found with gunshot wounds at a home on Steep Hollow Circle. Deputies responded just after 5:00 p.m. to reports of a possible shooting; both victims were treated at the scene and taken to a local hospital but later died from their injuries.

A suspect fled before officers arrived. With assistance from the Bryan Police Department and Texas Department of Safety troopers, a person of interest was detained about six miles away at a restaurant near Briarcrest Drive and Oak Ridge Drive. Arrest records identify 32-year-old Ezekiel Barajas of Bryan as the person taken into custody; authorities have charged him with Capital Murder of Multiple Persons and say he is the son of Nancy Winn.

The community remains in shock as the case proceeds through the courts and the family mourns two lives lost. If anyone has information about the events on Steep Hollow Circle that evening, please share what is known.
