A 21 year old Houston man identified as Jadon Carpy has been arrested and charged in the 2019 shooting death of a young Katy father who was killed on his birthday.
Brenton Estorffe, 29, was gunned down by Jadon Carpy while trying to protect his wife and two small children when someone broke into their home on Glen Rosa Drive, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.
Estorffe died from a bullet wound to the chest.
More than two years later, the FBCSO said Jadon Carpy, was arrested at his Houston home with help from the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force.
Carpy was charged with murder and remains in the Fort Bend County Jail on a $350,000 bond.
Investigators are still working to identify a second suspect in the case.
What happened
It was just after midnight on Oct. 16, 2019, when authorities said Estorffe heard glass breaking and ran to confront the intruders.
“The guys were close to the bedroom and he fought them all the way back to the kitchen, so he saved his family, saved his kids and wife,” Michael Estorffe, the victim’s father, told a news station in Australia after it happened.
Twelve detectives were assigned to the case but they didn’t have much to go on other than a video of a light-colored sedan seen in the area.
“We will stop at nothing,” then-Sheriff Troy Nehls said. “We will investigate … until we can bring these individuals to justice.”
The family had only lived in the Katy neighborhood for about six months.
