Robert Lee Shannon, age 19, was arrested and booked into the Freestone County Jail on Monday, May 11, after confessing to firing shots towards a residence in the 700 block of Spruce in Teague on Wednesday morning, May 6, at approximately 2:41 a.m.
A preliminary investi‑gation determined that the suspect fled the area im‑mediately after the shoot‑ing. No injuries were re‑ported in the shooting. The Teague Police Department asked the community for possible tips in the shoot‑ing.
During the initial inves‑tigation, officers recovered surveillance video that cap‑tured a teal‑green Chevro‑let pickup truck leaving the area immediately after the gunfire. Using this footage, departmental officers be‑gan actively searching for the vehicle. A night‑shift patrol officer located a ve‑hicle matching the descrip‑tion and forwarded the in‑formation to the Criminal Investigations Division (CID).
