Montgomery County, Texas

From the Houston Chronicle of November 17, 2006
Man shot dead in home of estranged girlfriend in Spring

A 26-year-old woman told Montgomery County authorities today she shot her former boyfriend who would not leave her home near Spring this morning.

Sheriff's deputies and Precinct 3 Constable's officers found Jeffery Keith Phillips, 43, of New Caney, dead this morning in the house in the 4800 block of Neches Court in south Montgomery County. The cause of death is presumably a single gunshot wound to the chest, authorities said.

The ex-girlfriend told authorities the victim appeared at her home while she was away. She apparently had a protective order against Phillips.

The woman told authorities she shot the man in the chest after he refused to leave, officials said.

The investigation by sheriff's detectives was continuing.
