A southwest Houston father shot and killed a 27-year-old man Saturday after arriving home to find the man with his 13-year-old daughter, police said. After the parents arrived at their home in the 6900 block of Chasewood, the girl and 27-year-old man fled out the back door, said Houston Police Department spokeswoman Johanna Abad. The man later called the mother by phone and returned to talk to the parents, but the girl remained missing throughout the night. When the man returned to the house, the father was waiting for him with a loaded shotgun, police said. The two argued before the father shot and killed the other man. [...]

Houston police issued an Amber Alert for the missing 13-year-old, but canceled it after the parents learned their daughter had spent the night at a friend's house. She came home Sunday. Abad said she did know the nature of the teen and the 27-year-old's relationship.
