HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A woman is dead after a shooting in the Sheldon area, according to the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed the shooting happened in the 11100 block of Maritime Drive on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The suspect, described as a 29-year-old man by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, was detained at the scene. Investigators added that it was the suspect’s stepfather who called 911 after the shooting occurred.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Jason Brown described the victim as a woman in her 40s, adding that she and the suspect had been drinking and had some sort of argument before the shooting.<\/p>\n
While Gonzalez previously said the deadly shooting was a possible “intimate partner shooting incident,” in an update later in the day, investigators said they could not confirm the nature of the man and woman’s relationship.<\/p>\n
At the time of publication, Brown said the weapon had not yet been recovered and that the suspect was still being questioned at the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n
The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
