Overview
- Authorities say one suspect carried out three fatal shootings on Oct. 8 at separate scenes in Sugar Land and southwest Houston before dying of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
- The initial Sugar Land killing was first described as possible road rage, but police now say the victim and the shooter knew each other.
- Investigators linked the scenes by matching the suspect description and a silver or gray Ford Escape seen at both locations.
- Sugar Land police identified the deceased suspect as 42-year-old William Lewis and named the first victim as Shelley Perrault, 47; FOX26 reported the Houston victims include a 51-year-old mechanic and shop owner Hector Vasquez, 35.
- Houston and Sugar Land homicide teams are processing multiple scenes, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, and they say there is no continuing threat to the public.
