Cyprus, Texas (KTRK) – Perhaps an unimaginably horrific tragedy in a quiet Cypress neighborhood more than eight years ago has finally come to an end.
At one point, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office had no evidence or suspects in the January 2014 massacre that killed two parents – father Maui Sun and his wife Mei Z – and their two young children – 9-year-old Timothy and 7-year-old Titus.

But investigators on Tuesday announced a breakthrough with the arrest of 58-year-old Feng Lu.
Lu was detained in the San Francisco Bay Area when he arrived on a flight from China. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez wrote on Twitter that San Francisco Police, US Customs and Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations had arrested him.
He is transferred to the San Mateo County Jail in California where he is being held pending extradition to Texas on charges of premeditated murder.
Al-Sharif did not say how investigators linked Lu to the murders.
Four members of the Sun family were found shot dead in their home in Cypress in January 2014.
Investigators believe the Suns were shot at their Coles Crossing home sometime on the evening of Friday, January 24, 2014. Their bodies were not discovered until the father failed to show up for work the following Monday.
The killings particularly rocked Houston’s Chinese community, with some members expressing frustration at the lack of information a year later.
“I think people in Chinese society, they’re going to feel insecure. They won’t know why this happened. What’s the motive, until we get answers,” Yingjing Sun, president of the Houston citizen group China Alliance, told ABC13 in 2015.
The two younger victims are memorialized precisely in the neighborhood where they once felt safe. Two seedlings were planted outside the community pond by the Scout group to which Timothy and Titus belonged.
Below each is a small memorial that reads “In loving memory..always in our hearts.”
