Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife were killed at their Houston home on Friday. Police say the couple’s 16-year-old son has been charged for the murder. The couple’s two other children were home at the time of the incident but were unharmed. Armstrong, who also played for Texas A&M and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was shot in the head and transported to the hospital, where he later died. His wife, Daun Armstrong, died at the scene. Police found the couple at around 2 a.m. on Friday, they said. It was not immediately clear what the motive was for the murder. Local media cited a cousin of Daun Armstrong as saying: “There was nothing that even could possibly have justified this situation. This doesn’t even make sense.”
