Harris County Sheriff's deputies were called to the Circle M Bar and Grill on Telge at 5am. Before they got there, the call was upgraded to a shooting.

Deputies arrived to find Kevin Miller, 22, in the parking lot. He had been shot in the stomach. The bar owner, Robert Mitchell, was also in the parking lot, armed with a pistol.

Miller was taken to Cy-Fair Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Deputies say Mitchell, who lives nearby the bar, was responding to a burglar alarm at the business when he encountered Miller. The two apparently had a confrontation in the parking lot, and Miller was shot several times.

Mitchell is cooperating with authorities. The case is being referred to a grand jury. "
