Officer-Involved Shooting Under Investigation in Lake Jackson

On June 1, 2026, at approximately 12:09 a.m., a Brazoria County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle near FM 2004 and This Way Street in Lake Jackson.

The vehicle failed to stop and fled from the deputy. The pursuit ended when the vehicle entered the attached garage of a residence located in the 100 block of Indian Warrior Trail in Lake Jackson.

As the deputy encountered the driver, the deputy discharged his firearm, resulting in injuries to the driver. The driver was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced deceased.

The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office has requested the assistance of the Texas Rangers, who will lead the investigation in conjunction with the Brazoria County District Attorney’s Office.

In accordance with Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office policy, the involved deputy will be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No additional information will be released at this time.

🎓 The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office is proud to recognize another important milestone in our Inmate GED Education program!

On Wednesday, May 27, we celebrated an inmate at the Brazoria County Detention Center who successfully earned his GED certificate through the grant-funded educational partnership with Brazosport College. Together with the college, a graduation ceremony was held to honor the commitment, discipline, and perseverance it took to accomplish this goal.

The Inmate GED program was created to provide individuals in our care and custody with an opportunity to better themselves and prepare for a more successful future upon release. This achievement represents a positive step toward personal growth, employment opportunities, and reducing recidivism. We commend this graduate for putting in the effort to make meaningful changes in his life and for taking advantage of available resources.

We extend gratitude to Brazosport Community College President Dr. Vincent Solis, Dr. Monique Bracham, Ms. Shardae Shaw, all college administration, and our own BCSO Detention staff for making this day possible.

The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to providing programs that encourage rehabilitation and self-improvement.
