Katy-area woman shot in apparent domestic attack, suspect sought
A 42-year-old woman was shot on Majestic Crown Court, and investigators named Travis Lewis as the suspect while they searched for him.
A Katy-area woman was shot in the street on Majestic Crown Court, and Harris County Precinct 5 deputies were still searching Monday for Travis Lewis, 42, after investigators identified him as the suspect. The victim, also 42, was found with gunshot wounds to her upper torso and was conscious and talking when deputies reached her.
Deputies were dispatched at about 7:51 a.m. to a weapons disturbance call, and they arrived about five minutes later. Investigators said the injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening. Shell casings recovered at the scene led investigators to believe a 9mm pistol was used.
Authorities said Lewis was not in custody as of Monday morning, and deputies were pursuing leads as they tried to pin down the exact relationship between Lewis and the victim. Investigators believe the two may have been in a domestic relationship, raising the possibility that this was not a random shooting but a targeted attack tied to a personal connection.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was expected to accept an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge against Lewis. Under Texas law, aggravated assault includes using or exhibiting a deadly weapon during an assault, and it is generally treated as a second-degree felony.
The case also puts a sharp focus on domestic violence in Harris County, where advocates and prosecutors have described the problem as a major local threat. A Houston report in 2025 said domestic violence was the second most filed crime in Harris County, with about 15,000 domestic violence cases filed each year. The Texas Council on Family Violence reported that 161 Texans died from intimate partner violence in 2024.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office Domestic Violence Division says it uses specially trained prosecutors, social workers and support staff to handle intimate partner violence cases and seek protective orders and prevent homicides. For neighbors near Majestic Crown Court, the active search for Lewis meant the danger had not ended when deputies secured the scene.
