The 16-year-old son ofย Antonio and Dawn Armstrong who has been charged with murdering his father and mother allegedly tried to cover up his crimes.
The teenager called 911 from inside a closet to report that he had seen a masked man in his house and was hiding from the intruder.

When police arrived, they found the handgun on the counter along with a note that read โIโve been watching you,โ but they were skeptical when the teen had to turn off an expensive alarm system to let them into the house and there was no sign of forced entry at the home.
Although investigators say the teen admitted to having experimented with silencing guns with blankets and pillows, he continued to deny he was involved in the murders. Both Antonio and Dawn Armstrong were found after having been shot with a pillow placed over them. ย According to the Harris County Medical Examinerโs Office, the motherย was shot twice in the head.

โIt was kind of the All-American family, thatโs why weโre trying to get down to figure out whatโs going on in this household,โ HPD homicide detective Jimmy Dodson said.
