The gunman, who was not yet identified, asked the three brothers to leave the Houston home.  The unidentified assailant was then asked to leave.  He is said to have gone to his car parked in the driveway and returned with a gun. 

One of the brothers pulled out a gun of his own. 

The teenage nephew of the brother who died said that the poker game was supposed to have been a fun way for the family to spend time together. 

"He had a gun in his car or something. He got mad, and he pulled it out," he told KTRK. "I actually came outside when I heard the gunshot."
