HOUSTON—A man was killed and his family members beaten after three suspects barged into a north Houston home Saturday afternoon, police said.

Investigators said one of the suspects pretended to be a census worker to gain entry into the house, located in the 400 block of Truman.

Family members said the victim’s son opened the door for the suspects, believing they were with the census.

Larry Johnson Jr., the nephew of the victim, said the suspects tied up and beat his cousin and aunt after barging into to the home.

Johnson said his uncle, Reginald "Pete" Haynes, walked in on the crime and was ambushed.

"They tied him up and stabbed him and tried to submerge him in water," Johnson said.

Haynes later died at the hospital.

Family members said the men ransacked the house for two hours.

"They were looking for money and my aunt gave them everything that they had and it wasn’t enough for them," Johnson said.

Neighbor Randell Harmon said he even watched the suspects leave after the crime and had no idea what had happened.

"I saw three gentlemen walk out and I didn’t think anything of it," Harmon said. "They didn’t look at me. They got in the truck and they left."

The incident left people in the community fearful about who might come knocking at their door.

"They’ve taken something precious from us," Johnson said. "They really have."

Neighbors said census-takers started working their street weeks ago.

According to HPD, the suspect who claimed to be a census worker showed no ID badge. Investigators said they don’t have a good description of any of the suspects.



***I think that having someone come to our homes if they did not get an completed Census report was a slick way for a killer to enter into someones home. This should have never happened. Now a man is dead because of this! Please watch this sad video.sad

This is horrible. I don't usually let people in the house no matter what, if i don't really know the person. I don't even let the delivery guy in the gate. It's dangerous nowadays. There are a lot of people like that now and you'll never know who they are exactly.

hi cream 97 that is why if anyone comes to your door you should require identification and if they do not have it lock your door and call the police. that poor family, that was just horrible.but one now days should not let anyone in unless they know who the party is or the person has id to show he or she is legitimate.Census takers must show a badge and cannot enter until they do, as my son worked in the first census taking and they had lessons for days before going out.devilevil grinfeeling sick

I don't know if you have seen any of the census commercials, but the commercial specifically states open your door to your census worker. All kinds of wackos can also see these commercials, and it makes me nervous for anyone who is easily victimized by people who want to rob them, or hurt them. I personally will not open my door to anyone I do not know. If they need help I will call 911 for them, or hand them the phone through a window, and talk through a window. It is sad we have to think in this manner.

This is horrible. I have opened my door, and even let people selling stuff in my house before and then thought, what have I done. I have heard other stories like this one and it is scary. I live in a small town so people don't think twice about opening the door to a stranger. In bigger cities I think people are more careful. Everyone should have a peephole I think.

angryyou know, it amazes me that there are such mean, cruel people in this world that could take another human beings life like this.

If she gave them everythig, why kill anyone? thumbdownI hate that people think it is ok to do such things to others instead of getting out and working for what they need.

I have read this before and it never gets any better. They actually showed an ID badge, huh? Now that is awful. I would ask for one for sure and even then you are in trouble. Ikes! They really want this census thing done and yet we get this sort of thing going on. Makes it hard to trust ANYONE!!

That is scarey. You just can't trust anyone anymore. You really can't. I was watching a show on cable for awhile about such stories and how people came of it and why. You really have to be a fighter and even then it doesn't always help much.

That is really sad to hear for that family. I filled out my census form, and mailed it out promptly. Still, I have a censor worker leaving a note on my door every other day. I don't get it. We (the taxpayers) are paying these people's salaries to come to homes who have already completed the form.

But I guess that is a totally different subject. I wonder how these people were dressed, and what kind of neighborhood it was. It makes you wonder if there are going to be a lot of other attacks like this happening in the United States. Just goes to show that things like this can happen anywhere.

Thank you for sharing this story with us here on myLot, Cream. It just about makes you want to quit listening to the news, it is so sad.

Have a better day!
