Two people have died in a murder-suicide after a man broke into a Texas home and killed his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend before turning the gun on himself.
The ex-boyfriend, identified by relatives as Randy Salinas Jr, arrived at the home where he used to live in Cypress, north-west of Houston, at about 3.15am on Monday and started beating the garage door.
Police said that when no one answered, he entered his old garage door security code and went into the home.

'If I only seen those messages maybe I could have tried to call and talk to him or... I just didn't catch it - I didn't see it in time,' his cousin Garcia said.
'I'm not going to sit here and blame myself for it but I sure could have tried to make a difference.'
Police are still investigating a motive for the shooting.
Police arrived at the home to find the two men dead. They have not publicly released any names of the victims
