HOUSTON, TX – Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit investigators have arrested 3 men on capital murder charges in connection with the slayings of Spring residents Bao and Jenny Lam.
The Lams were found bound by their hands and feet and shot to death inside their home located at 16510 Glorietta Turn in the Northgate Forest subdivision on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 13.
On Tuesday, Homicide Unit investigators released security surveillance video depicting persons of interest in the Lams’ murders. On Wednesday, investigators arrested the following suspects on capital murder charges: Khari Ty Kendrick, 23, Aakiel Ricardo Kendrick, age 21, Erick Alfredo Peralta, 20.
The Houston Chronicle reported: The thieves then ransacked the house and left just before midnight in the couple’s Porsche, investigators said.
A few hours later, they returned and went back in the house. In the days that followed, unidentified men – possibly the same pair – returned to the house repeatedly, surveillance footage showed.
“Very brazen to not only execute them but to continue to return back multiple times,” [Sheriff Ed] Gonzalez said.
It’s not clear what all was taken, but jewelry and several rifles in a glass case were stolen at some point.
“The family was clearly targeted,” Gonzalez said, adding that it was likely because of their business success. There’s no indication the attackers knew the Lams personally.
All three suspects have been booked into the Harris County Jail.
“I want to thank the Harris County community for helping our dedicated investigators bring justice to the Lam family and get these dangerous criminals off our streets,” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. “We join the Lam family in grieving our entire community’s loss.”
