Suspect’s mom was fatally shot at nightclub
A woman who was killed in a shooting at a Midtown nightclub Sunday that also left three off-duty Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies wounded was the accused gunman’s mother, authorities said.
Joseph Anthony Gonzalez, 25, was later apprehended at a Sugar Land hospital, where he tried to receive medical treatment for a gunshot wound, Houston police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner said. In court documents, prosecutors said Gonzalez shot and killed his mother in the shooting, but he has not been charged yet with her death. She was not identified.
The deputies — who were uniformed — are expected to survive.
Gonzalez faces three counts of aggravated assault against a public servant. He also was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon.
