According to HPD Lt. Larry Crowson, the crime spree started in Sugar Land. A shooting was reported at about 12:30 p.m. in the 129000 block of Dairy Ashford Road, near Highway 90.

Sugar Land police said in a statement on Wednesday night that upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a woman with several gunshot wounds in the driver seat of a white SUV that had gone off the road. 

Officials said two witnesses assisted as officers performed lifesaving measures until EMS arrived. 

The woman was taken to Ben Taub Hospital where she later died. She was identified as Shelley Perrault, 47, from Rosenberg, according to Sugar Land PD.

A BOLO, or Be On The Lookout, for the suspect's vehicle, a gray SUV, was issued to nearby agencies.
