Authorities are seeking two suspects wanted for allegedly shooting a Magnolia man as he drove onto his property May 31.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) released sketches of the two suspects July 21 and is asking for the public’s help to identify the two men.

Veronico M. Trujillo, 64, was ambushed and shot in the head while sitting in his truck at the entrance to his property, according to the MCSO.

Patrol units were dispatched to the 14000 block of Mill Creek Drive around 5:50 p.m. May 31 where they found Trujillo with a single gunshot wound to the head. Witnesses told authorities that two males came out of the woods from across the street and began shooting as Trujillo arrived at his property.

Trujillo was taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in downtown Houston.

The victim was just recently released from the hospital.

The shooter, who witnesses said was using a handgun, is described as a white male in his late teens to early 20s with a short haircut. Details regarding the second suspect are “incomplete and conflicting,” according to a press release from the MCSO.

Authorities are still trying to determine a motive for the crime, although they do suspect robbery could be the reason for the attack.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Detective Mike Rogers with the Major Crimes Unit at 936-760-5876.

Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Montgomery County Crime Stoppers and can receive up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest or indictment of a felony crime. Anonymous tips can also be made through the group’s website at www.montgomerycountycrimestoppers.org.
