Harris County Sgt. Greg Pinkins said the brother "made no statements when deputies arrived," though they believe he was the one who called 911 and was being considered a suspect, KHOU reported.

Officers took the brother into custody and have recovered the knife that they believe was used.  His name was not released.

The family has refused to allow deputies inside the home, so authorities were working on obtaining a search warrant, FOX Houston reported.

It’s not clear what led to the stabbing.
