The Pearland Police Department has arrested a suspect involved in a shooting that occurred at Pearland Town Center earlier today.
According to reports from PPD, on Saturday, May 5th, 2018, Pearland Police Officers were dispatched to the Pearland Town Center's European Wax Center (11302 #108 Broadway St, Pearland 77584) in reference to a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers found a victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Witnesses to the incident were able to provide a very detailed description of the suspect, which helped officers quickly locate and detain him. A person of interest was also detained a short time later.
Early details indicate the incident stemmed from a verbal confrontation inside the wax center. When the two males were asked to leave the store, the suspect shot the victim after they exited.
The victim was treated on-scene by Pearland Officers and Pearland EMS before being transported to Memorial Hermann Medical Center.
The suspect, 32-year-old Jeremy Vaughn Axel from Houston, was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
