Todd Jordashe Jackson Jr. was arrested on suspicion of fatally striking his father, 46-year-old Todd Jordashe Jackson Sr., with a glass beer mug, according to charging documents.
According to Houston police, officers responded to an assault call at an apartment complex at 2010 North Main Street at about 7 a.m.
At the scene, officers found a 46-year-old man suffering from blunt force trauma. Paramedics took the victim to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to court documents, the man was beaten to death with a glass mug.
Police said the father and Jackson were arguing before the deadly attack.
