Luther Madison II, 39, and Angelica Madison, 39, were arrested and charged with aggravated assault on March 18 after an incident that occurred the prior day. As per a statement from Harris County Constable Precinct 4, the couple had arranged to meet with two other parents to discuss the romantic relationship between their teenage son and the teenage daughter of the other couple. The names of the other parents involved were not disclosed, but one of them allegedly had a firearm during the meeting.
A Texas couple who met with the parents of a teenage girl dating their son were arrested after the conversation allegedly took a violent turn.
Reportedly, the purpose of the meeting was for the couples to address their concerns about the children’s relationship and to seek assistance from the Madisons in keeping their son away from the other couple’s daughter, who was considered too young for dating. While the details of the confrontation were not fully disclosed, it was described as a verbal and physical altercation that transpired on the street in the Madisons’ neighborhood in Hockley, which is located about 35 miles northwest of Houston.
The constable’s office stated that the situation escalated during the conversation, leading to the altercation. The incident drew attention due to the involvement of the teenagers’ parents and the presence of a weapon at the scene. The authorities were prompted to intervene and subsequently arrested Luther Madison II and Angelica Madison on charges of aggravated assault following the disturbance.
Police said that Angelica Madison allegedly brought the gun to the meeting and kept it in her pocket. At some point, police said, she gave the gun to Luther Madison, who then allegedly shot the husband in the chest and then pointed the gun at the wife as he threatened to shoot her too.
When deputies arrived at the scene, police said that they found the husband with a gunshot wound to the chest. In another post on Facebook, the Constable said the alleged victim was airlifted to the hospital. His condition was not made public.
Angelica Madison and Luther Madison were both arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They were booked into the Harris County Jail and bonded out. Both parents are due back in court on May 20.
