Doctor Accused Of Shooting Bicyclist

POSTED: Wednesday, July 26, 2006

A doctor has been arrested in connection with a shooting near Dickinson, officials told KPRC Local 2.

Officials said Wameeth Fadhli, 33, was arrested at a home in the 1900 block of O'Reily Bend on Tuesday.

Fadhli is accused of shooting a 22-year-old man in the chest and shoulder, Galveston County sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies said the victim was riding a bicycle in the 3000 block of Avenue C near when Fadhli allegedly pulled alongside him and fired numerous shots.

The man was taken to UTMB in Galveston for treatment.

Witnesses called 911 and gave deputies a description of the shooter and the vehicle he was driving.

Deputies tracked the vehicle to a home about a mile away from the shooting scene.

The motive for the shooting is unclear, deputies said.

Fadhli was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. He is in the Galveston County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
