Four law-enforcement agencies are searching for a man identified as the suspect in a shooting that wounded one person in the Pinebrook area of Plantersville, in Grimes County, Texas, on Friday, November 6, the Grimes County Sheriff's Office said. The suspect, Keith Lamonte Davis, remained at large in the latest reports, and Sheriff Don Sowell urged residents to use extreme caution and not to approach him.

The victim was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston with a gunshot wound that was described as non-life-threatening, the Navasota Examiner reported. The sheriff's office has not, in the reports published so far, described what led up to the shooting in Pinebrook, a community in the Plantersville area in the southern part of Grimes County, north-west of Houston.

The suspect and the car deputies are looking for

According to the sheriff's office, Davis is described as a Black male with green eyes and brown hair. He is believed to be in a tan Buick LaCrosse with a white hood. That vehicle description is the most concrete public detail in the search: a two-tone sedan of that description seen in Grimes County or the surrounding counties is exactly what deputies are asking residents to report.

Four agencies in the search

The search involves the Grimes County Sheriff's Office, the Grimes County Precinct Two Constable's Office, the Todd Mission Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety. KBTX reported on Friday night, November 6, that Davis remained at large, and KWHI's Saturday report, carrying the sheriff's office appeal, still described an active search with no arrest announced.

Grimes County is a largely rural county between Houston and Bryan–College Station, and Plantersville sits in its southern end, in pine-forest country where a search can spread quickly across county lines and along farm-to-market roads. That geography is why a state agency, the Texas Department of Public Safety, is part of the search alongside the county and local departments, and why the sheriff's office pushed the suspect's description and vehicle out publicly on Saturday.

What happens next is straightforward: the search continues until Davis is located, and the sheriff's office is asking anyone who sees him or the tan-and-white Buick to call 911 rather than engage. The shooting itself remains under investigation, and the victim's wound was reported as non-life-threatening. Davis is a suspect identified by the sheriff's office; any charge against him is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless and until he is convicted in court.
