Man airlifted after shooting at Colony Ridge gas station

A shooting was reported late Saturday morning at the Valero gas station at 1001 County Road 3550 in the Colony Ridge community, south of Plum Grove. The incident happened around 11:57 a.m. on Sept. 6.

Capt. David Meyers, spokesperson for the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, said an argument broke out between a man and a woman, believed to be ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, at the gas station. During the altercation, the woman allegedly shot the man in the chest.

The victim was taken to the Santa Fe Administration and Activities building at 1680 CR 3549, also in the community, and from there was transported by LifeFlight helicopter for medical treatment.

Several agencies responded to the scene, including the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the Liberty County Pct. 6 Constable’s Office, the Cleveland Fire Department, and Allegiance EMS. The Valero gas station was surrounded with crime scene tape while officers investigated.

Authorities confirmed that the woman has not yet been taken into custody. Her name is not available at this time. The case may be referred to a grand jury for charges.

Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

    • Who’s illegal? Nobody is illegal on stolen land my boy. You’re the one who shouldn’t be here. Yall act like something is happening every single day, & forget Houston is the new Chicago with crimes happening all hours of the day, every single day. I lived in the city and it doesn’t compare, so kindly SYBAU!

      • Y’all beaners sure like to pull this “it was our’s first” bullshit after us Europeans came and civilized the country. Now you want back in to enjoy a piece of the pie that wouldn’t be here if not for our superior intelligence, innovation, and sacrifice. You animals would still be killing each other and eating pig guts wrapped in mashed maize if it weren’t for us. Oh, wait- you still do that. Fkng tool.

  1. The truth of the matter is Mexico invited the Anglo’s (thats white people for those who dont know big words) \ (Stephen F Austin) here because the Comanche Indians were kicking their asses and they needed help. Thats true history! Well then of course in 1836 ol Sam kicked Santa Anna’s ass and took it all away from Mexico. That is what Colony Ridge needs…. someone like Sam Houston to straighten them out!

    Lets hear all the blab now !!!!!!

  2. Whats funny is if anyone ever actually read a history book, they would find that a treaty was signed by both countries to end a war, ( normal and expected way to end a conflict ) and both counrries agreed to the SALE of the land ya’ll keep calling stolen, and Mexico was pajd for the land by the US. You cant call property that was sold and paid for stolen. Besides that, there isnt a single parcel of land left on this planet that is now inhabited by its original peoples if it had one. Every single person on this planet for as far back as they can find historical evidence of were nomads that never stayed in o e place for long. Even after people started settling, others wouls come conqueur them and take what they had, and has happened sincs bibli am times, ever read the Bible, its in it. Knowledge is power, perhaps try it sometime
