A 15-year-old boy is being held on suspicion of killing a 14-year-old youngster close to Conroe. Around 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, the event took place in the 11900 block of Douget Road.
When deputies arrived, they found the young victim lying on the road with multiple gunshot wounds. The 14-year-old passed away at the site despite their best attempts to save him.
Investigators recognized a 15-year-old Conroe resident as soon as they went to work.
Two other suspects, James Fuller and Mason Goodwin, both 19 years old and from Conroe, were found during a search of his house after a warrant for his arrest was issued.
The young suspect, who is charged with murder, was brought to the Montgomery County Juvenile Detention Center. On the same charge, Fuller and Goodwin were taken into custody without incident and taken to the Montgomery County Jail.
Sheriff Doolittle praised his deputies’ and the District Attorney’s Office’s prompt action in capturing the culprits, calling the incident “heartbreaking” and “senseless.”
The deputies said the inquiry indicates that a personal argument may have been the cause of the shooting, but they are still investigating the complete motive.
