KATY, Texas (Covering Katy News) — A 20-year-old man wanted on felony warrants connected to a drive-by shooting in Cypress was arrested Tuesday at a home in the Katy area, authorities said.
According to the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office, deputies assigned to Constable Terry Allbritton's Strategic Response Unit, with assistance from the Harris County Sheriff's Office, executed a felony arrest warrant in the 3600 block of Lake Varano Circle on June 30. The home is in a neighborhood off Clay and Porter Roads.
Authorities identified the suspect as Cayden Wilridge, 20.
Investigators said Wilridge was wanted on a felony charge of evading arrest and a charge of deadly conduct for his alleged role in a drive-by shooting in the Cypress area.
