A couple has been arrested in Texas after being accused of shooting the father of their son’s teenage girlfriend.

Luther Madison II, 39, allegedly shot the dad of his son’s girlfriend with a gun facilitated by his wife Angelica Madison, also 39, during an argument as the parents met to discuss their children dating on March 17, Harris County Constable Mark Herman said in a statement shared on Facebook.

Police responded to an aggravated assault call about two men “fighting on the street and shots were fired” in the 24400 block of Osprey Point Drive. They arrived to find a male victim with “a gunshot wound to the chest.”

The victim reported to police that he and his wife had met at the location with the Madisons “to ask them for help in keeping [their] son away from their daughter as she is too young to be dating,” according to Herman’s statement.

The victim was transported by air to the hospital, Herman confirmed in another Facebook post. His condition is unknown at this time.
