KATY, Texas (AP) — A 10-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting his physician father had watched his parents endure a messy divorce that included unproven allegations of sexual abuse.
Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot several times Friday as he sat in his sport utility vehicle after arriving to take the child for a weekend visit, police said.
The boy's mother, Deborah Geisler, had filed complaints with police during the 2003 divorce alleging that Lohstroh had molested their sons.
"He was very angry with his father," Geisler said in Sunday editions of the Houston Chronicle.
Lohstroh's attorney, Kathleen Collins, said police found no evidence to support the abuse claims. "This was one of the worst cases I've seen in terms of false allegations," she said.
