Houston cardiologist, one-time doctor of George H.W. Bush, killed by man with 20-year grudge, police say
By JULIA JACOBO Aug 1, 2018, 3:23 PM ET
Houston police believe that the suspect who allegedly killed the one-time doctor of former President George H.W. Bush held a 20-year grudge against the cardiologist because his mother died while being operated on by the doctor.
Authorities have filed an arrest warrant for Joseph James Pappas, 62, who is believed to be armed and dangerous as well as suicidal, said Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo during a press conference Wednesday. The arrest warrant carries a charge of murder, Acevedo said.
Mark Hausknecht, 65, was shot on July 20 as he rode his bicycle in broad daylight in a residential neighborhood in Houston.
Officers searched Pappas' home early Wednesday morning and received a tip from an individual who had information about the killing, Acevedo said.
"We believe this absolutely is the killer of Dr. Hausknecht," Acevedo said.
