Antonio Armstrong Jr. to appear in court in shooting death of parents

HOUSTON -- A teenager is scheduled to appear in court on a capital murder charge accusing him of fatally shooting his mother and father, who was a standout linebacker for Texas A&M before a brief NFL career.

Antonio Armstrong Jr. is scheduled to appear in a Houston court Monday.

Authorities say Armstrong shot Antonio and Dawn Armstrong inside their townhome in July.

A juvenile court determined the teen will stand trial as an adult. Antonio Armstrong Jr. was 16 when the shooting happened.

The Houston Chronicle reports his lawyer will seek a bond hearing if Armstrong is held without bail.
