The suspect in a Brenham murder investigation has been indicted.
22-year-old Trenton Deshunn Gilbert of Brenham was indicted for Murder this week by the Washington County Grand Jury. Gilbert was arrested in August in connection to the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Laterius Ragston on August 16th.
Brenham police officers responded at 2:30 a.m. that morning after receiving a report of a weapons-related incident in the 800 block of Pleasantview Avenue. Ragston was found with gunshot wounds and was treated by officers on scene before being transported for emergency care, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Police say Gilbert turned himself in on August 19th and was booked at the Washington County Jail for his active Murder warrant. Online jail records show he remains in custody, with bond set at $1 million.
