Suspect killed in Conroe police shooting identified as 18-year-old

The suspect has been identified as Larry Mixon III. The police department and the Montgomery Co. District Attorney's Office are investigating the incident.

CONROE, Texas — The Conroe Police Department confirmed that a man shot by one of their officers has died from his injuries.

Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Larry Marquail Mixon III. He was shot by an officer after he was allegedly shooting into a home on East Phillips Street. 

Before that, Conroe PD said Mixon was involved in two other incidents at local businesses. There's no information on what happened at that time.

Later, he supposedly showed up at the victims' home twice. The first time, police said Mixon had an "incoherent" argument with the residents before pointing a gun at them.

He left the home and came back minutes later as officers pulled up. They got a 911 call from the home at around 7:30 p.m. Monday.

When officers got there, they say they saw Mixon shooting into the home. Conroe PD said the officer shot at the suspect to protect the people that were allegedly inside.

Mixon was taken to the hospital and was later pronounced dead. Police said his next of kin has been notified about his death.

They also said there's no known relationship between Mixon and the residents of the home.

Conroe PD's Investigation Division and the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office have been looking into the shooting. An autopsy is pending.
