Possible would-be car burglar shot, killed by homeowner in Kingwood
PORTER, Texas – Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies are investigating after they said a possible would-be car burglar was fatally shot in Kingwood Thursday night.
Deputies said the deadly shooting happened in the driveway of a home located in the 22700 block of Adrift Row Lane around 9 p.m.
According to investigators, a homeowner’s motion detection camera alerted him of some activity in his driveway. Deputies say the homeowner found a 23-year-old man he didn’t know sitting in his car. The homeowner had asked the intruder to leave right before fatally shooting him, deputies said.
“As the male homeowner approached the vehicle, (he) ordered the name subject out at gunpoint,” Specialist S. Squier with Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said. “He became aggressive, uncooperative. The suspect made the statement, ‘I will not go back to prison.’”
Deputies said as the alteration continued, the homeowner fired two shots, striking the subject who went down and was later pronounced dead.
The man’s name has not been released. Deputies said they are still trying to contact his family.
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Rangers and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, are investigating the shooting. There’s no word yet on whether the homeowner will face any charges.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Demetrius Jackson, the man killed in the Lodi Street shooting on Tuesday, was in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun while outside of 1808 Lodi Street, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun in the direction of those people, officials said.
Another man, who was on scene and in possession of a 9mm handgun returned fire striking and killing Jackson, Fitzpatrick said.
According to Fitzpatrick, this man has a valid pistol permit for the 9mm handgun.
The District Attorney said in a statement that based on preliminary investigation, it appears the man who shot Jackson saved the lives of several individuals.
The Syracuse Police Department is still investigating the shooting.
The District Attorney’s Office is aware that the man who shot Jackson and other witnesses to the incident have received threats and suffered property damage in what they say appears to be retaliation.
Those acts are currently being investigated, Fitzpatrick said.
