Houston, Texas (KTRK) – A 35-year-old man will spend decades behind bars after pleading guilty to killing his mother during a shooting that injured his father two years ago in their southwest Houston home.

Joshua Cordell Williams was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced Wednesday to 45 years in prison, according to court records.
On August 24, 2021, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Houston police said they found Joshua’s parents with gunshot wounds at 11207 Mulholland Drive.
His mother, 64-year-old Kathy Williams, was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. Father Joseph Williams was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Authorities believe Joshua, who was 33 and lived with his parents, may have been the one who called 911.
He was taken into custody at the home and later admitted his role in the shooting and charges were laid.
According to a neighbor who spoke to ABC13 in 2021, there have been issues between Joshua and his parents in the past.
It was not clear what exactly led to the shooting.
The docs show that Joshua’s sentence will run asynchronously.
