OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 03/13/2021, Gregorio Gaytan, 32, died after a multi-agency search located him behind a strip center near TX-6 and Settlers Way in Sugar Land following the fatal shooting of his mother-in-law two days earlier. Deputies and SWAT units surrounded the area and held a perimeter when a single gunshot was heard; Gaytan was found deceased from a self-inflicted wound. Authorities had been searching for him after reports he held his wife and children at gunpoint and killed a family member during a domestic conflict, triggering regional alerts, helicopters, and K-9 tracking. His death ended the manhunt and shifted the scene to local police investigation.
