No charges have been announced as investigators examine a confrontation that left two men dead at a Montgomery County home.
WILLIS, Texas — A grand jury will review whether criminal charges are warranted against a woman who authorities say fatally shot her ex-boyfriend after he shot and killed her current boyfriend at a Willis home Friday night.
The planned grand jury review is the next legal step disclosed by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office as Major Crimes detectives investigate the deaths. Authorities have not announced charges against the woman, and the sheriff’s office has described its account of the shooting as preliminary while investigators continue examining the circumstances.
Deputies responded at about 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 to a 911 report of an assault involving a firearm in the 5000 block of Pleasure Lake Drive. They found two adult men suffering from gunshot wounds. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the sheriff’s office, the woman’s ex-boyfriend arrived at the home carrying a firearm and shot her current boyfriend. Investigators said the woman then returned fire and shot the ex-boyfriend. Authorities have not released a more detailed account explaining what happened before the first shot was fired.
Sgt. Christopher Evans of the sheriff’s office Major Crimes Unit said the two men had been involved in an altercation involving the woman before the shooting. Investigators have not publicly disclosed what prompted the confrontation or whether there had been earlier contact among the people involved that evening.
The woman was not injured, according to authorities. Investigators have not announced the identities of any of the people involved, and the names of the two men were being withheld while officials completed notifications to their families.
The decision to submit the woman’s actions to a grand jury does not by itself establish criminal wrongdoing. The sheriff’s office said the panel will consider the case and determine whether an indictment is warranted based on the evidence presented. Officials have not announced when that review will occur.
Authorities also have not publicly detailed what physical evidence, witness accounts or other investigative material will be presented. Major Crimes detectives and crime scene investigators responded after the shooting, and the sheriff’s office said the broader circumstances surrounding the deaths remain under investigation.
The case centers on a sequence that investigators say unfolded within a single confrontation: an armed ex-boyfriend arrived, the current boyfriend was shot, and the woman then fired at the ex-boyfriend. The sheriff’s office has not released information indicating that another shooter was involved or that the incident created a continuing danger to surrounding residents.
No charges had been announced as of the latest available update. The sheriff’s office said the shooting was isolated to those involved and posed no threat to the public, while investigators continued their work and prepared the woman’s actions for eventual grand jury review.
