On February 28, 2023, at about 3:20 p.m., Houston Police responded to a shooting at 16099 Blue Ridge Road and found 41-year-old Earl Green lying unresponsive in the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced Green dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 45-year-old Brian Bush as the primary suspect in Green’s murder. Bush was arrested on March 6, 2023, on an unrelated felony warrant; after homicide detectives consulted with the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, Bush was charged with murder in the 458th District Court of Fort Bend County. Reports say the events followed an earlier incident in which Green allegedly fatally shot Bush’s girlfriend, 45-year-old Clotheia Garrett, at a Sonic Drive-Thru on South Post Oak after the three had initially spoken as childhood acquaintances.

The case remains under investigation as authorities try to reconstruct the sequence of encounters and motives. If anyone witnessed either incident or has information about the people involved, please come forward.
