Montgomery County Teens Arrested After Fatal Shooting of 14-Year-Old Boy

Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon revealed on Monday that murder charges will be filed against two 19-year-old men in connection with the tragic shooting death of a 14-year-old boy that occurred early Saturday morning.

Ligon characterized the incident as “sickening and sorrowful,” noting that it stemmed from a tragic dispute among acquaintances in the teen community.

“This is a classic example of a youthful dispute characterized by impulsive and irrational actions, which could ultimately result in a tragic outcome,” Ligon stated. “No matter the outcome of this criminal case, it is clear that there will be no victors.”

Mason Goodwin and James Fuller, the suspects in the case, are currently detained at the Montgomery County Jail, each held on a bond of $200,000. Officials have confirmed the arrest of a 15-year-old male in relation to the recent shooting incident. The individual's name remains undisclosed, attributed to his age.

Ligon refrained from disclosing specific details regarding the case or the events leading to the fatal confrontation, but underscored that the teenagers involved were not unfamiliar with one another.

The recent shooting has sent shockwaves through the Conroe community, igniting feelings of grief and raising alarms about the ongoing issue of youth violence.

Local authorities have announced that additional details will be provided following the filing of formal charges. The inquiry continues to progress.
