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.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
