Two Suspects Arrested in Anahuac Shooting, Charged with Aggravated AssaultSource: Chambers County Sheriff's Office

Two suspects have been booked in connection with a shooting that took place at a residence in Chambers County, Texas, earlier this month. A man named De Antaye Childress and a woman identified as Amber Lewis were arrested on charges that stem from an incident that left two individuals wounded by gunshots, as reported by Click2Houston.

On the night of April 13, two victims were discovered at a home on Bailey Road in Anahuac by Sheriff's deputies. They were reportedly found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, necessitating immediate medical attention. Later, they were airlifted to a trauma hospital for treatment, as detailed in a report from KFDM News. The investigation into the shooting, involving both the Chambers County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division and US Marshals, led to the issuance of arrest warrants for Childress, who has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bond is set at a hefty $300,000. Lewis is facing one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon along with one count of deadly conduct, with her bond set at $125,000.

According to Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne, the efforts made to detain the suspects concluded successfully in the early hours of April 26 when authorities, working alongside U.S. Marshals executed the arrests without any complications; the suspects were located and apprehended without incident, as Click2Houston described in their coverage of the event.

The circumstances around the shooting have yet to be fully discerned, and the community waits as the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office continues its thorough investigation. Additional details on the case and subsequent legal proceedings for Childress and Lewis await disclosure. Further understanding of complexities in the case is anticipated from what is expected to prove a meticulous unfolding of the facts as the pursuit of justice moves steadfastly forward.
