Jacob McMurrough sentenced to 30 years for shooting his mother repeatedly in southeast Harris County, records show

On February 3, 22-year-old Jacob McMurrough was charged with murder, a first-degree felony, according to records.

On April 25, 2020, Harris County delegates responded to Sagedale’s 10100 block following reports of a shooting. At the scene, authorities said they found a 37-year-old woman dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Deputies later said that McMurrough, the woman’s son, shot her in a melee.

At the time, authorities said the controversy stemmed from McMurrough’s anger at his mother for crashing his grandfather’s car. During the argument, McMurrough pulled a gun from a parked car in the driveway, returned to the house, and shot his mother multiple times.

Records show that McMurrough will serve his time concurrently and will receive credit for his time behind bars.
