Investigators have charged a Houston-area mother, Oninda Romelus, for allegedly shooting her four children early Saturday, October 4, 2025, killing two and wounding two others. The case stunned the local community and revived an old reality-TV appearance.
Deputies say Romelus herself reported shooting from a gas station in Angleton, Texas, about 45 miles south of Houston. Authorities believe Romelus shot the children in the car somewhere else before driving to the gas station and calling the police. According to court records and local reporting, deputies arrived around 4:48 a.m. and found all four children inside a vehicle. Police arrested Romelus at the scene.
