The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office is heading up the investigation of an alleged drive-by shooting that took place around 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, on the 100 block of CR 3556 in the Colony Ridge community south of Plum Grove in northwest Liberty County.
According to Capt. Ken DeFoor, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, the brother of the 18-year-old male shooting victim dialed 911 to report the attack that happened outside the family’s home.
The victim was struck once in the chest by a bullet fired from a handgun used by an assailant in a grey Nissan passenger vehicle. DeFoor said that as many as four men in the vehicle at the time of the attack.
The victim was taken by ground ambulance to a nearby air ambulance helipad to be transported to a Houston-area trauma center.
A motive for the shooting is unclear at this point.
A short time after the shooting, law enforcement stopped a vehicle matching the suspects’ vehicle along the Grand Parkway (I-99). At this time, DeFoor is uncertain if the vehicle that was stopped is related to the shooting.
An update will be posted as more information becomes available.

Liberty and Montgomery county officials- stop Colony Ridge Development from bringing anymore of this trash and crime into our community. It’s a matter of public safety, and the law abiding citizens of these counties and surrounding areas have had enough.
No kidding but that ain’t going to happen as long as Jay Knight keeps getting re-elected Commissioners Court Judge! If the people think Liberty County is going to Hell then why’d the voters re-elect that SOB? Elections Matter people!
