Eric Pait Jr., 38, was fatally shot in the garage of his Hawks Nest Drive home in Houston on October 31, 2024, at about 11:15 p.m. Witnesses described an assailant wearing a white Michael Myers mask approaching Pait and opening fire. Two of Pait’s children were inside the house and were unharmed; a third child was with a relative.

Pait’s killing came after the August 16, 2024, death of his estranged wife, 37-year-old Carman Peterson, who was found shot to death in her apartment. Investigators had considered Pait a person of interest in Peterson’s homicide but did not file charges. Authorities are investigating whether the two deaths are connected. No arrests have been announced in Pait’s killing and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact investigators.

Did anyone in the Houston area see unusual activity on Hawks Nest Drive or know more about the events linking these two deaths?
