INDICTMENTS RETURNED FOR FOUR MEN CONNECTED TO BRENHAM CONVENIENCE STORE SHOOTING

  

Four men have been indicted by the latest Washington County Grand Jury, in connection to the shooting incident last November at the Valero Station in Brenham.

27-year-old John Thomas Howard, 33-year-old Rodney Rayonn Tates, 24-year-old Tyrin Hunter – each of Brenham – and 18-year-old Kelvin Levi, Jr. of Washington were all indicted Tuesday for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Howard was also indicted on a charge of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon.

The charges stem from an incident on November 18^th, when police were called out to a shooting in progress at the gas station on Highway 105.

Police reported an altercation began at a private party at the American Legion Hall on North Park Street, then spilled over to the station where the shooting took place.  No one was struck by the ensuing gunfire.

Also indicted for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon was 24-year-old Deadrius Walker of Washington.

Walker was arrested December 19^th in south Houston, after a joint effort involving Brenham police and U.S. Marshalls.
