Fight between neighbors ends in gunfire; 2 shot and another hurt along Dodiewood Lane, Harris County Sheriff’s Office says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies said a neighbor dispute escalated to a shooting, sending multiple people to the hospital and bullets flying in different directions.

On Thursday, at about 2 a.m., deputies said they were called to the 8000 block of Dodiewood Lane, near Highway 249 and Fallbrook Drive in northwest Harris County. When they arrived, they said they found three people hurt and bullet casings all over.

“We know that several guests arrived at one of the residences that led to a verbal altercation,” HCSO Sgt. Freder Munoz explained. “I’m not quite certain what that originated from, but that led to the weapons disturbance.”

Munoz said two people were shot, and a third was hurt in the fight. He said the three people were rushed to the hospital, where they’re alert and awake.

Deputies said a fourth person who wasn’t hurt took off. They located him, and he was detained.

Munoz later told ABC13 that the person was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, but that he may not be the only person charged.

Munoz said people at the hospital could face charges, too. Deputies aren’t sure why the fight started.

They say they collected more than 20 bullet casings — evidence they say was found all over the neighborhood, including lodged into two homes.

“We know for certain we have shots that were fired in multiple directions,” Munoz said. “The homes are very close to each other. Somebody could’ve sustained a gunshot wound, or worse, or died from this incident.”

Deputies said the violent fight was caught on a neighbor’s camera. They’re hoping the surveillance video will answer why the fight started and who should be charged.
