Man cuts power to ex's home, breaks in, shoots her 4 times on day of child custody hearing

[Sugar Cookie]

A gunman shot his ex-wife four times Monday morning, the day they were scheduled to appear in court for a child custody hearing, deputies in Texas said.

Harris County sheriff's deputies were called in response to a shooting/home invasion around 3:30 a.m. Monday.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the woman's ex-husband cut off all power to her home, broke into the back window and shot her four times.

The suspected gunman, Aaron B. Wright, was located and arrested later Monday morning and booked into the Harris County Jail, according to Gonzalez. He's charged with aggravated assault.

The woman is in stable condition, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

According to Harris County Deputy Investigator John Mook, the couple has been divorced for about a year.

Their four children between the ages of 5 and 12 were home, sleeping in their beds during the shooting, according to Mook. They were all uninjured.

Investigators say Wright may have anticipated losing custody of the kids when the two were scheduled to appear in court Monday for a child custody hearing.

Wright reportedly used the power box on the side of the home, which was unlocked at the time of the shooting, to cut off the power.

When asked if Wright had made threats before, Mook said he had a history with the woman's new boyfriend.

"I do understand that he has threatened the new boyfriend multiple times," Mook said. "I'm sure this was a contentious divorce as well. We're looking into all of that."

Surveillance video shows a second suspect with Wright at the scene. Deputies believe the second suspect is Wright's new girlfriend.

The pair reportedly drove to the home in Wright's work truck, parked down the street and approached on foot. They both fled the scene on foot, according to Mook.

The four children are safe with their grandmother, according to investigators.

Bet he loses custody...

aggravated assault

Pretty fucking minimal. I guess Texas does not give much shits when a man plans and follows through with this kind of operation.

I'd call it attempted premeditated murder. But. at least, he solved that old custody problem, he'll (hopefully) never be allowed near his kids ever again.

It's just a low charge that has the best chance of holding up if the arrest/incarceration were ever challenged (which happens a lot).
Ultimately it's up to the D.A. what charges are laid.

He's out on bail, now.

The fact that they granted this obviously dangerous piece of shit bail says something about Texas.

I wonder if it's because he's white. Betcha a black guy woulda been left to rot in the pokey.

Piece of white trash perp shown in pic below:

Charged with aggrevated assault and burglary

175,000 bail set + order to stay away from the victim and her children (uh huh), cannot have any guns, and required to wear gps thingie (perfect for collecting him after he finishes the job, perhaps... no wait, those can be cut off with the right tools).

Victim is in the process of having multiple surgeries to her leg due to the shooting. Since the fucker's now out on bail, here's to hoping that the hospital has armed guards that are attentive, huh?

Long history of abuse that continued after the victim divorced him and moved out. She had tried to get a protective order against him in late Fall 2020, but a court (judged named Barbara J. Stalder) denied it to her and at that time, ended a temporary protective order that had been in place. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20974314/andrea-wright-protective-order-denial.pdf .

So I guess, the only "protection" you can have (in Texas at least and in particular if your potential attacker is a white man) is to have your own gun and sleep with the mother fucker like, under your pillow. And hope it doesn't go off at night because that kind of sound would omfg blow your eardrum out of your head, not to mention who knows where the bullet would go.

What was the point of cutting the power? Alarms, maybe?

In his possibly meth-fueled mind (he looks kinda methy to me), maybe he knew she had cams up and thought he would kill the power to her surveillance system by doing that. But no, since they do indeed have her surveillance footage, she clearly had that shit riding a UPS or similar.

I guess he didn’t want custody.

@Blizzard its just a piece of paper.. no matter where you live.. he’s out because no state is really trying to incarcerate.. especially since the COVID-19 and the election.. I don’t give a shit where you live.. if you are depending on someone else to protect you.. you are doing it wrong.. oh and fuck that judge.. that shit happens all the time..
