The stabbing happened at the Knox Westchase Apartments on Richmond Avenue early Friday morning.

Houston police officers were flagged down by someone who told them that a woman and her child were being held hostage in an apartment.

When police arrived at the apartment, they found a woman, 28, and a 2-year-old dead in the apartment with multiple stab wounds.

Fisher was asleep on the couch wearing clothes with blood on them, according to police.

Officers also said Fisher had injuries consistent with a physical fight.

The suspect’s mother, Joanna Fischer, said she warned police about her son after he threatened to kill the whole family.

Fischer blames police inaction for the deaths.

"I want to let y’all know how the police failed us," Fischer told FOX 26.

Fischer said her son had recently been released from jail and has a history of violence against family members.

Kendrick Fisher is currently in the Harris County Jail. His bond is set to $200,000.
