A Texas man<\/a> with three prior convictions is back behind bars after allegedly gunning down an elderly woman during a home invasion earlier this week, just days after authorities signed a warrant for his arrest after reportedly failing to appear in court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Richard Mouton, 34, and Tajuana Thomas, 38, are charged with capital murder after allegedly shooting a 72-year-old woman to death at her home in Houston\u2019s Kashmere Gardens neighborhood<\/a> on Monday, the Houston Police Department said in a statement<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The identity of the victim has not yet been released by authorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses told authorities that Thomas had been angry<\/a> with the victim after she previously refused to bail Thomas out of jail, while adding the two “argued about it all the time,” Click2Houston reported<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded around 1:50 a.m. on Monday, when both masked suspects allegedly entered through an unlocked backdoor of the victim\u2019s residence \u2013 where Thomas previously lived \u2013 and found the victim asleep on a couch, according to the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair reportedly demanded jewelry from the victim and pointed an AR-style rifle at her, leading to a shootout between both suspects and the 72-year-old woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim shot Thomas in the hip and Mouton in the face with a revolver, before being killed by gunfire, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Both suspects were subsequently transported to a local hospital, while the victim was pronounced dead<\/a> at the scene, according to authorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The alleged deadly home invasion is reportedly not the first time either suspect has had a run-in with the law.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of the shooting, Thomas was out on bond stemming from a misdemeanor terroristic threat charge, Click2Houston reported.<\/p>\n

Court records reportedly show in 2022, a victim told authorities that Thomas had been fired from her job before returning to her former place of employment and telling the victim she was going to “beat his a–.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mouton was handed down a 60-day jail sentence<\/a> in 2023 after being convicted of felony evading arrest while he was out on parole, according to<\/u><\/a> FOX 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mouton\u2019s parole later ended in 2024, Click2Houston reported.<\/p>\n

In July 2025, Mouton was reportedly arrested and charged with felon in possession of a weapon, evading arrest and drug possession<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Court records reportedly indicate he allegedly ran 1,500 feet from a traffic stop while carrying more than 100 grams of marijuana, nearly 12 grams of Xanax, 5 grams of ecstasy, 3.4 grams of cocaine, over 24 grams of methamphetamine and a firearm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Mouton had been out on bond since about a week after his arrest, records show he failed to appear in court on Jan. 22, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His failure to appear reportedly resulted in authorities issuing a warrant for his arrest just two days before the alleged deadly home invasion.<\/p>\n

“It’s always disturbing that you could be on parole, get a felony conviction, and still be on parole and not have your parole revoked,” Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers told FOX 26.<\/p>\n

The Harris County Prosecutor\u2019s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s comment regarding both Mouton and Thomas\u2019 previous parole decisions prior to the alleged murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
