Houston, meanwhile, was laid to rest Friday following an emotional memorial service at Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall. During the service, Houston's oldest daughter said she hoped to be able to spend some time with the man who killed her father so that he could come to know Jesus.
Houston was killed while responding to a report of a fight between two women. Police documents obtained by NBC 5 revealed that a woman and her daughter had reportedly caught her husband with another woman in a grocery store parking lot.
