A shooting incident early Wednesday morning, Oct. 16, left one young man dead and two others injured. According to Lt. John Bennett, spokesperson for the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting occurred around 2 a.m. on FM 1010 near CR 341, south of Cleveland.
Two 17-year-old males were picked up by two friends, an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old male. Shortly after, another vehicle pulled up behind them and began firing. One of the 17-year-olds in the back seat was fatally struck, while the other was shot twice. The 18-year-old in the front seat sustained a graze wound to the head, and the 19-year-old driver was uninjured.
Bennett said the suspect fired at least six shots from a firearm during the brief but deadly encounter. Investigators recovered shell casings at the scene, which they believe are connected to the attack. While they are pursuing leads, investigators have not yet disclosed specific information regarding the suspect or the vehicle involved.
The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office believes this was a targeted attack, not a random act of violence or road rage.
“We are taking this case very seriously,” Bennett said.
When asked if the shooting was gang-related, Bennett said investigators are exploring all possibilities but have no evidence to suggest gang involvement at this time.
The victims drove themselves to a hospital in the Kingwood area, and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office notified Liberty County authorities of the incident. Two of the victims are from the Cleveland area, and the other two are from the Colony Ridge communities south of Plum Grove.

According to Google Maps, there is no CR 341 in or near Cleveland TX though. There is a CR 3411 however… idk. :-\
There is a CR 341 in Cleveland Tx. Right off of FM 1010
There is a County Road 341, google maps is wrong..I pass it daily.
Colony Ridge? Why does that ring a bell? And Cleveland wants to rebrand itself. How about Gangland instead of Cleveland.
Buddy the shooter was white get your facts straight dumb hoe yall lil crackers ain’t angels either
Shouldn’t you be folding tacos in the kitchen of a roach coach somewhere, dumb lil hoe?
Cr 341 is the next street north from Colony Ridge off Plum Grove Rd.
Any one want to bet it’s beaners?
Think ts was funny sb lost they life thug 👎🏽
Nah, I don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s bullshit that these uncivilized thugs run rampant in the schools and communities we are raising kids in, and the county knows where the root of the problem is, but continues to allow development.
If my kids went to Cleveland ISD, I’d pull them out so fast it would leave a vacuum.
One of the shooter was white lmao
Shooters**
A wigger…
Oh but theres very unorganized gang activity in Colony Ridge, right DPS Col. McGraw????
Third World Cleveland.
It can’t be… Another murder in the totally normal, not a hideout for illegals, Mayberry suburb?
Just more of their rich, vibrant culture that will teach all of us Americans to be more accepting to “immigrants”.
Go ahead, Liberty County- sign off on the next 1000 acres for ole Harris to “develop”. We don’t mind gangs, murders and drugs in the schools and streets.
I promise you that there are officials/cops of some sort getting their pockets full. Otherwise this crap would stop.
They’re not sending their best.
The sheriff’s office is super crooked. Yet the liberty county voters slob on his knob like corn on the cob. Where does all the money go from confiscated cars that are auctioned? The county commissioner owns one of the tow yards and keeps cars then over charges people. Liberty county officials are a joke and so are its voters. All I hear is complaints and no one does anything. The county is full of meth heads, that’s where the problem is.
