Crowley police said they received an emergency call at 9:13 p.m. from a woman who said her husband — later identified as Steven Scott — had been shot at their home in the 700 block of Meadowlark Circle.
Police and paramedics responded and found Scott lying on the floor of the residence with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds. Police said Scott was transported to Texas Health Huguley Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Scott's wife was home at the time of the shooting, but police did not say whether she witnessed it.

Crowley police said the incident is their first murder investigation of the year.
