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.

Fatal Domestic Shooting Under Investigation on Mel Smith Road
Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday morning during a domestic altercation at an apartment on Mel Smith Road, located in an unincorporated area outside New Albany.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) received the initial emergency call at approximately 5:39 a.m. on November 15, 2025, reporting a disturbance involving family members.
While officers were en route, additional information indicated that shots had been fired inside the residence.
Upon arrival, deputies encountered a domestic situation involving a mother and her two adult sons.
Officers immediately secured the scene and began administering medical aid to one of the men who had sustained gunshot wounds.
The second male remained at the location and cooperated fully with responding officers.
The injured individual was transported to a nearby hospital; however, he later died as a result of his injuries.
Detectives with the Floyd County Criminal Investigations Division (CID) have taken over the case and processed the scene for evidence.
Early findings suggest the shooting may have occurred in self-defense, though officials emphasize that the investigation is still in its preliminary stages.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Authorities state that additional updates will be released as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
The case remains active.
