1 killed, 1 shot at house party in Fort Bend County

SUGAR LAND, Texas – Fort Bend County sheriffs are investigating a shooting Sunday that left one person dead and one injured.

Officials said deputies were called at 3 a.m. to the Greatwood Subdivision in the 7400 block of Stone Arbor, where several minors were running from a house party.

Deputies said a party of more than 30 late teens and early 20-year-olds erupted into gunfire. Two people were shot.

Sheriff Troy Nehls said the shooting started following a heated argument.

Police said 18-year-old Demone Ziegler died and Ira Donahue, 21, was injured and taken by a medical helicopter to a hospital. 

Jon Klubnik lives a few doors down from the home where the shooting happened. He said someone was supposed to be taking care of the house while the owners are on vacation in Jamaica.

"We're surprised and still kind of in shock, I haven't told my kids and I don't know that I will," Klubnik said.

Detectives are continuing an investigation.
