HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A homeowner has been charged after police say he opened fire on a father and his 13-year-old daughter because they turned around in his driveway.
Houston police say it happened Tuesday around 2 p.m. on Willbriar Lane in the Houston portion of Fort Bend County.
A woman who asked not to be identified said her son-in-law and 13-year-old granddaughter had just left her house when they used the driveway next door to turn around.
That’s when police say the homeowner, Seth Daigre, emerged, and an argument ensued.
“My daughter tried to de-escalate the situation by saying, ‘It’s not that serious, sir,'” the woman said. “‘Oh yes, it is.’ Next thing I know, he’s brandishing a weapon, firing.”
After firing multiple times at the victims’ car, police said Daigre paused before firing additional rounds. Neighbors say they heard more than a dozen gunshots.
Officers said they found a bullet in the front passenger’s seat where the 13-year-old girl was sitting and another lodged in the back of the car.
No one was injured.
“She’s gonna be traumatized for a long time,” the victim’s grandmother said.
Police say Daigre admitted to firing at the car twice. When asked why he didn’t call the police, he allegedly said it’s because he “had a lot going on.”
Records show he has no criminal history in Texas.
He’s owned the house on Willbriar Lane since 2016, and neighbors say he goes to great lengths to prevent people from turning around in his driveway, including blocking it with trash cans.
The victim’s grandmother says it’s no excuse for opening fire on someone.
“I’m sorry to hear that, but I mean, you know, we might not like that it’s raining one day. What you gonna do? Curse God?” she said.
Daigre is charged with two counts of aggravated assault.
He’s being held in the Fort Bend County Jail on an $80,000 bond.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Police Department says multiple law enforcement officials were taken to the hospital following two separate crashes during an overnight pursuit.
Two Houston police officers and one Harris County Constable Precinct 1 deputy are expected to survive, according to an HPD sergeant.
“All of our officers are in good condition,” Sgt. Mike Barrow said. “They have minor injuries and possible broken bones.”
Barrow said the two crashes occurred as they were chasing four juvenile suspects in a stolen vehicle.
The first wreck involved a lone HPD unit that crashed and rolled over at West Little York Road and the North Freeway.
An HPD officer and Pct. 1 deputy then collided with one another in the intersection of West Mount Houston Road and the North Freeway.
“They literally met in the middle of the intersection,” Barrow explained.
The four suspects were eventually taken into custody in the same area as the crashes, according to investigators.
“They wrecked,” Barrow said of the four juvenile suspects. “Our officers were on top of it and arrested those suspects.”
The sergeant said some of those juveniles could have minor injuries, but was unsure of their current conditions.

In Houston, Immigration and Injury Attorney Kim Bruno has earned a reputation that goes beyond legal success. Known as “La Abogada Número Uno,” she has built her career on one mission: delivering real results for the Latino community she proudly represents.
Rooted in Family, Driven by Purpose
Born and raised in Houston, Bruno’s story is deeply tied to her Mexican heritage. Her grandparents arrived from Jalisco with little, building a life through hard work and determination.
“I didn’t know I was going to be an attorney,” she said. “But I knew I was part of a community that needed someone to be a voice.”
That awareness shaped her path early on—long before she stepped into a courtroom.
Turning Struggles Into Advocacy
Bruno doesn’t separate her personal experiences from her work. Growing up in an underrepresented community—and facing discrimination—fueled her drive.
“I see myself as a voice for the people… to help them benefit from things they wouldn’t know otherwise,” she explained.
Today, that means going deeper than a standard consultation. She takes time to understand every detail of a client’s story to find legal options others might miss.
“I tell the truth,” she said. “And then I look for ways to fix it.”
A Reputation Built on Results
Her nickname, La Número Uno, came directly from clients—and spread quickly through word-of-mouth.
For Bruno, that trust is everything.
“Gano resultados por la comunidad… cambiando vidas, un cliente a la vez,” she said, describing the legacy she hopes to leave behind.
Her approach is simple: don’t stop fighting.
Navigating Today’s Immigration Climate
Bruno describes the current immigration landscape as emotionally тяжел—especially when families are separated through detention.
“Eso me duele lo más,” she said, noting how deeply these cases affect entire families, not just individuals.
Her biggest advice is preparation:
Have a plan for your children, finances, and home
Talk through worst-case scenarios with family
Seek legal guidance early
“Si no nos preparamos, ¿qué vamos a hacer cuando ese día venga?” she said.
Know Your Rights
In encounters with law enforcement, Bruno stresses staying calm and informed.
“Si te paran… no te corras,” she advised. “No tienes que decir nada—puedes pedir un abogado.”
Understanding and using those rights can make a critical difference.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes
One of the biggest issues she sees: people trusting notarios.
“Es un problema grandísimo,” Bruno said.
In the U.S., notarios are not attorneys—and filing through them can lead to denied cases or even deportation.
Her advice is clear: always consult a licensed attorney before submitting any immigration paperwork.
Opciones de Inmigración (Spanglish Guide)
Bruno emphasizes that many people sí califican—pero no saben.
Si estás casado(a) con un ciudadano americano, you may be able to apply for residency
Si tienes un hijo ciudadano de 21 años o más, ellos te pueden pedir
Si entraste con visa, puede haber opción de adjustment of status
Si entraste sin papeles, tal vez necesitas un perdón (waiver)
También existen opciones como U-Visa, VAWA, y otros alivios
“Hay muchas maneras… pero tienes que hablar con alguien que te explique tus opciones,” she sai
Injury Cases: Rights Without Status
Bruno is equally vocal about injury law—especially for undocumented clients.
“If you’re involved in an accident… it does not matter,” she said. “You can still get compensation.”
Her key tips:
Get license plate and driver information immediately
Cooperate with police
Contact an attorney as soon as possible
“We have ways to investigate,” she added, even in hit-and-run cases.
At work, the message is the same: rights still apply.
“Ustedes tienen derechos… no importa si no tienen papeles.”
When the Outcome Isn’t Guaranteed
Bruno is honest about the reality of her field.
“No puedes ganar todos los casos,” she said.
Each case depends on multiple factors—but the emotional weight of a loss is real.
“Impacta a toda la familia.”
Holding Onto Hope
Despite the challenges, Bruno remains focused on progress—whether through work permits, legal advocacy, or pushing back in detention cases.
“We have to have hope,” she said. “If not, there’s nothing to fight for.”
A Message to the Community
Her closing message is simple but powerful:
“No están solos… aquí estamos para ayudarte.”
Bruno encourages anyone with questions about immigration status or injury cases to take the first step.
“Vengan para una consulta… para ver qué podemos hacer,” she said.

Senate Republicans approved a budget blueprint early Thursday that sets the stage for increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The resolution passed in a 50–48 vote after a lengthy overnight “vote-a-rama,” a marathon session where senators debated and voted on amendments for roughly six hours. The measure required only a simple majority to advance.
Key Vote Details
Two Republicans—Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky—broke with their party to oppose the resolution, joining Democrats in voting no. All other Republicans supported the measure.
The vote concluded at approximately 3:36 a.m., highlighting the urgency and partisan divide surrounding immigration funding and border security policy.
What the Resolution Means
While the resolution does not allocate funds directly, it initiates the budget process, allowing Republicans to begin drafting legislation that could deliver billions of dollars to ICE and CBP.
Supporters argue the funding boost is necessary to strengthen border enforcement and immigration operations. Critics, however, have raised concerns over oversight, policy priorities, and the broader direction of immigration enforcement.
What’s Next
Lawmakers will now move into the next phase—writing and negotiating the actual spending bill. The process is expected to face continued debate as both parties push competing visions for immigration policy and Department of Homeland Security funding.
Opening arguments are underway in the retrial of former Franklin County sheriff’s deputy Jason Meade, who is charged with murder and reckless homicide in the 2020 shooting death of 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr.
A new jury—comprised of nine women and three men—was seated this week, marking a fresh start after Meade’s first trial ended in a mistrial in February 2024 when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. Meade has pleaded not guilty.
Conflicting Accounts of the Shooting
The fatal encounter occurred on Dec. 4, 2020, while Meade was assisting U.S. Marshals searching for a fugitive. Authorities confirmed that Goodson was not the intended target.
Meade has maintained that he acted in self-defense, claiming Goodson pointed a gun at him. However, the victim’s family disputes that account, saying Goodson had just returned from a dentist appointment and was entering his grandmother’s home holding a sandwich.
Police reports indicate Goodson was legally armed, with a concealed carry permit. A firearm was recovered at the scene with its safety engaged.
Key Evidence and Legal Arguments
According to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office, Goodson was shot six times from behind, including five wounds to the back—details that have become central to the prosecution’s case.
A judge ruled that Meade may argue self-defense in this retrial, despite prosecutors’ objections that he initiated the confrontation. The court determined that the defense has the right to present that argument before evidence is fully examined.
Notably, no body camera footage exists, as deputies were not equipped with body-worn cameras at the time.
Broader Impact and Ongoing Debate
The case has drawn national attention and sparked debate over police accountability and use of force. It also led to policy changes, with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office implementing body cameras in 2022.
As the retrial unfolds, both sides are expected to focus heavily on forensic evidence and the absence of independent witnesses—factors that could again prove निर्णसive in determining the outcome.
LIBERTY, Texas (KTRK) — A former Liberty County housing official was arrested again Wednesday after being indicted on a new charge related to misuse of public money.
Klint Bush was released from the Liberty County Jail on a personal recognizance bond after being booked on a misappropriation charge stemming from his time as chairman of the Liberty County Housing Authority.
Records show a grand jury indicted him on the latest charge on April 15.
He was already facing charges of theft and abuse of official capacity filed in 2023.
At the time, prosecutors said he directed $33,000 of CARES Act funds to fictitious businesses.
The latest indictment details 14 transactions totaling more than $163,000.
Several involve five-figure checks to an entity called Liberty County Housing Dev Corporation, whose bank account, the indictment alleges, Bush withdrew money from.
Prosecutors also flagged an almost $12,000 check from the Housing Authority to Liberty Technologies and a more than $16,000 check to an entity called County Healthcare.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — As the atmosphere dries out, patchy dense fog could again develop for the Thursday morning drive. Temperatures will start off in the mid 60s. Once the morning clouds and fog burn off, temperatures will climb into the mid 80s. While we cannot completely rule out a stray shower, your chance of getting rain Thursday is 10% or less.
How much longer will this rainy weather stick around?
It’s basically over! Rain chances drop down to 10% for Thursday and stay at 20% or less until late next week when a cool front blows in.
What’s the outlook for the weekend?
Temperatures will rise back into the upper 80s over the weekend and so will the humidity. Rain chances will stay low under a partly cloudy sky. The sun at this time of year is about as intense as it is in late August, so you can quickly catch a sun burn if you’re not careful!
Are there anymore cool fronts in the forecast?
We just might get another one late next week as we say goodbye to April and hello to May. For now we have the front penciled in to arrive next Thursday night with a slim chance of rain followed by a day or two with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s.
