Drug deal gone bad leads to shootout among several juveniles, fatally wounding 1, Conroe PD says

Conroe Police Department reported that a teenager was discovered fatally shot following a suspected drug transaction gone awry on Friday.

Responding to a shooting call, officers arrived at 1410 Cordoba Court and found the teenage boy deceased from an apparent gunshot wound two houses away from the original scene.

Shortly after, another individual who allegedly phoned in about the shooting was detained by officers.

Subsequent investigation led to Conroe officers receiving notice from Conroe HCA hospital that two additional juveniles had been admitted to the emergency room, one with a gunshot wound.

Upon arrival, patrol officers detained the teenagers and established their connection to the deceased teen.

Further inquiry revealed that approximately five to seven juveniles had gathered at the residence of the individual who reported the shooting to engage in a purported drug purchase.

Reportedly armed, the juveniles engaged in a shootout, resulting in the death of one individual, while another juvenile sustained a gunshot wound to the face, according to police.

In consideration of the ongoing investigation, the identities of the juveniles involved will not be disclosed.
