A Tesla Model 3 crashed through the front of a Katy home on June 19, 2026, killing one. A manslaughter charge has been filed against a man who was behind the wheel of a Tesla when it crashed into a Houston-area home last month, killing a 76-year-old woman who was inside. Michael Butler, 44, of Richmond, was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Harris County Jail on the felony charge, according to county court records and Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
