10-Year-Old Boy Is Charged in Dad’s Death
A 10-year-old suspected of fatally shooting his father about a month ago after watching his parents endure a bitter divorce has been charged with murder.
His attorney said the boy was charged last week in Houston in the Aug. 27 death of Dr. Rick Lohstroh, who was shot outside the Katy home of his ex-wife, Deborah Geisler, after he arrived to pick up his two sons for a weekend visit.
Investigators say the boy, who was taking the antidepressant Prozac at the time of the slaying, took a pistol from the home, climbed into the back seat of his father’s sport utility vehicle and shot Lohstroh in the back.
