Lewisville Welfare-Check Standoff Leaves Woman Dead, Suspect Wounded in Custody

Texas Rangers have opened a use-of-force inquiry focused on how the suspect was wounded during the early-morning incident.

Overview

  • Police responded around 6:20 a.m. to multiple 911 calls for a welfare check at an apartment on South State Highway 121 Business near West Corporate Drive.
  • Officers say the man exited the residence and fired at them, prompting them to take cover and request armored support and SWAT.
  • After the suspect fired at an armored vehicle, officers returned fire, and the man later surrendered with a gunshot wound before being taken to a hospital.
  • Inside the apartment, officers found a woman with an apparent gunshot wound who was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • The origin of the suspect’s injury remains under investigation, involved officers are on critical-incident leave, identities have not been released, and LPD Internal Affairs and the Texas Rangers are conducting separate probes.
