  Has Been Charged With The Murder Of His Father And Mother 

BHR Hollywood Reports............The 16-year-old son of former Miami Dolphins linebacker Antonio Armstrong has been charged in the murders of Armstrong and his wife, Dawn, in their Texas home Friday.

The teen, who was not named because he is a juvenile, is accused of shooting his parents at their Houston residence about 1:30 a.m. Friday.

The double shooting happened at the family’s town home on Palmetto at Mapleridge in the Bellaire area. Dawn was found dead at the scene in the couple's bedroom. Antonio was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he was pronounced dead reported.

The couple also has a daughter who was reportedly at the home during the shooting. Family members say they are in complete shock over the murders.

"There was nothing left out. There was no neglect or anything, nothing that could even possibly justify the situation. This makes no sense," said Vaun Lee, Dawn's cousin.

The Armstrongs ran a gym in Houston, and Antonio was known for advocating health and fitness in the community. The former Miami Dolphins linebacker was also a motivational speaker, often taking to Instagram to share words of encouragement.

Texas A&M issued a statement Friday saying Antonio Armstrong was a letterman who played for the Aggies from 1991 to 1994 and described him as a cornerstone of the A&M "Wrecking Crew"
defense.

He was named first-team Associated Press All-America linebacker in 1994 and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

An ankle fracture in training camp led to his release that October. He signed with the Dolphins and played in four games with Miami that season, logging four solo tackles.

He was an associate pastor in an area church and ran a local gym with his wife.
