Malcolm Wayne Lee, a 25-year-old man, was fatally shot in the early hours of February 12, 2026, in a residential area of northwest Harris County, Texas. The incident occurred in the 24700 block of Hufsmith Kohrville Road, located in the Tomball area.
Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene after receiving reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they found Lee unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Investigators quickly began piecing together the events that led to the shooting. According to Sgt. Gregory Pinkins of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Lee had arrived at the residence with another woman when a confrontation erupted between him and the alleged shooter. Authorities believe the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Emily Rose Seeman, was Lee’s ex-girlfriend. The nature of the argument remains under investigation, but it reportedly escalated into a physical altercation before shots were fired.
Following the shooting, Seeman allegedly fled the scene on foot into a nearby wooded area before deputies arrived. Law enforcement officers from multiple agencies collaborated to establish a perimeter around the area in an effort to locate the suspect. Their coordinated efforts led to Seeman’s apprehension. She was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the altercation.
Crime scene investigators and homicide detectives from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the location to conduct a thorough examination. They collected evidence and interviewed witnesses to determine the sequence of events. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to establish a clear motive and timeline. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case to determine the appropriate charges.
The shooting has left the local community in shock, particularly those who knew Malcolm Wayne Lee.
