HOUSTON (FOX 26) - A drive-by shooting left a grandmother dead Monday morning.  Police say Brenda Reyna was reportedly killed while she sleeping. Homicide detectives are still investigating the drive-by shooting that killed this 62-year old grandmother and special needs teacher.

It was around 3:15 a.m. this morning when police were called to the home on the 700 block of East Sunnyside Street.
