Texas police looking for person wearing Michael Myers mask spotted in area where man was fatally shot on Halloween

A possible suspect wearing a Halloween Michael Myers mask was seen near a home in Harris County, Texas, where a man was found shot to death, authorities said Friday.

The suspect has not yet been identified and no arrests have been made.

Officers were called to a home on Hawks Nest Drive late Thursday night and found the victim, Eric Pait, lying lifeless in his garage with multiple gunshot wounds, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Pait died at the scene.

During the investigation, officers learned that Pait’s estranged wife had been murdered in August. That investigation remains open and active, the sheriff’s office said Friday. Detectives are investigating whether the two incidents are related.

Authorities spoke with witnesses and reviewed security video from neighboring homes and learned that a possible suspect was walking through the area wearing a mask of Michael Myers, the fictional killer from the “Halloween” film series.

Two children were found unharmed in the home, the sheriff’s office said. A family member had called 911 to report the shooting.

Witnesses said someone wearing the Myers mask walked up to the victim while he was in his garage and started shooting, local news station KHOU reported.
