| Charges have been filed against a suspect arrested in the shooting incident at 7427 Mount Street about 3:45 a.m. on Saturday (August 12).
The suspect, Kolan Lockett, 35, is charged with aggravated assault of a family member in the 182nd State District Court. A booking photo of Lockett is not available at this time, as he remains hospitalized.
The female victim, 35, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.
HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Detective A. Otero reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at the above address and found a male, later identified as Lockett, being treated for a gunshot wound by Houston Fire Department paramedics. Lockett was then transported to an area hospital.
The female victim informed police that she was assaulted by Lockett and he threatened to kill her. Lockett then left to retrieve a gun. At that time, the victim grabbed her own gun and, as Lockett entered the room, she fired a shot at Lockett and he was struck.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was consulted and Lockett was charged for his role in the incident. The investigation remains on-going.
