Suspect in Houston doctor's killing found dead. The man suspected in the shooting death of a prominent Houston doctor in broad daylight two weeks ago killed himself as police closed in on him, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said Friday.
Police had been looking for Joseph Pappas, 62, since Tuesday. They say they believe Pappas shot and killed Dr. Mark Hausknecht as both men rode bicycles in Houston on July 20.
Investigators say Pappas painstakingly planned the execution, possibly as revenge for his mother's death 20 years ago under the doctor's care. Ref. CNN
