The Houston Police Department is warning homeowners to be careful of allowing people into their home that they do not know in light of a recent attack. A man posing as a U.S. Census worker and two others forced their way into a North Houston home, killing the owner of the house and beating others in the home.

A woman and her child were tied up by the robbers and beaten. The woman’s husband arrived home, when the ‘census worker’ ambushed him in the garage.
