Gunman goes on shooting spree from Sugar Land to Houston Texas killing four people
HOUSTON, TX — A series of connected shootings that began as a suspected road rage incident in Sugar Land and continued across southwest Houston have left four people dead, including the gunman, authorities confirmed.
According to officials, there were three separate but related shootings that unfolded Monday afternoon—one in Sugar Land and two in southwest Houston—all believed to have been committed by the same individual.
First Shooting: Fatal Road Rage in Sugar Land
The first incident occurred shortly before 1:00 p.m. in the 12900 block of Dairy Ashford Road near U.S. 90.
Sugar Land Police said a female driver was found inside her vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds following what investigators described as a road rage confrontation.
Officers rendered aid until emergency medical services arrived. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced deceased. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
Second Shooting: Two Men Killed at Houston Auto Shop
At approximately 1:45 p.m., Houston Police responded to reports of a drive-by shooting at an auto repair business in the 13000 block of Fondren Road.
Investigators say the same suspect from the earlier Sugar Land shooting drove to the location and opened fire, killing two men.
According to police, one of the victims, a mechanic, was working on a vehicle when he was shot. A second man, who attempted to record the suspect on his cellphone, was also shot multiple times. Both men died from their injuries at the scene.
Third Shooting: Gunman Takes His Own Life
Roughly 15 minutes later, at around 2:00 p.m., Houston Police responded to another shooting approximately 2.9 miles away, in the 8000 block of Creekbend Drive.
When officers arrived, they discovered the suspect had turned the gun on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities in Sugar Land and Houston are jointly investigating the series of shootings, which they have confirmed are connected.
Multiple roadways in the affected areas remain closed as detectives process the scenes and collect evidence.
The identities of the victims and the suspect have not yet been publicly released, pending notification of family members.
Officials have described the incident as a tragic and senseless act of violence that spanned multiple jurisdictions within a short period of time.
