HOUSTON (KTRK) -- We now know more about the victim of Thursday's shooting in southwest Houston.

According to police, a son shot his mother and their family pets.

Police released the victim's identity and it turns out she was a well-known figure in Houston: Reyna Rogers.

Rogers -- known affectionately to friends as "Yuki" -- made her most significant impact in the heart of Houston's Asian American community where she was a leader, and she will be missed.
