Overview
- The shooting occurred Wednesday night in the 1100 block of Bayou Drive when deputies responded to a family‑disturbance call and the suspect allegedly opened fire at officers.
- Deputy Javier E. Perez‑Garcia was struck in both legs, underwent surgery at Memorial Hermann and is listed in stable/fair condition.
- Authorities say the suspect drove off in a marked Harris County patrol SUV that was later found near Dell Dale and I‑10, triggering an hours‑long multi‑agency manhunt and a Texas DPS Blue Alert.
- Twenty‑five‑year‑old Chase Layne Patin surrendered after neighbors reported dogs barking at a backyard shed; he is charged with four counts of aggravated assault of a public servant with a firearm and one count of theft valued between $30,000 and $150,000.
- Court records show Patin had prior felony convictions and was out on bond in a felon‑in‑possession case with a required GPS ankle monitor that was never installed, a lapse that has prompted scrutiny of Pretrial Services and local concern after door‑to‑door searches and evacuations.
