HOUSTON — The murder suspect accused of shooting his romantic partner during a dispute in Atascocita was found dead Friday morning inside a northwest Houston home, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.

Mario Jarrell Williams, 29, was out on a $100,000 bond after being charged with the death of Devon Wade, 28, on Nov. 26.

The victim was a doctoral candidate at the Columbia University, a dedicated activist and a pillar in the Atascocita community.

Wade was reportedly shot in the head overnight at his home on Crestline Road. Williams, who prosecutors identified as the victim’s boyfriend, turned himself into authorities soon after.

Investigators said Williams hung himself in the bedroom of a home in the 17100 block of Wilthonre Gardens Court and was discovered by deputies around 10:15 a.m. on Dec. 29.
