League City man arrested for killing wife after eviction

A 62-year-old League City man was arrested and charged with murder after a routine evacuation led officers to a scene on Crescent Bay Drive.

Charles McCoy, Jr. was arrested Tuesday after police found his wife, Susan McCoy, dead in their home.

On September 24, at approximately 10:39 a.m., the League City Police Department responded to a request for assistance from the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy investigator was trying to serve a warrant on a home in the 100 block of Crescent Bay Drive where the McCoys were being evicted.

Upon arrival, officers attempted to contact the McCoys but received no response.

After entering the house, they found Susan lying on the bedroom floor with fatal injuries.

Charles was also found on the floor with self-inflicted wounds, but was still alive. He was treated at the scene by officers before being transported to a nearby hospital by LCFD personnel.

Following an investigation by LCPD detectives and the Crime Scene Unit, the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office charged Charles with murder.

His bond was set at $150,000.
