Gregory Walter Sharretts, 67, was shot and killed on January 26, 2022, on Highway 3 in Texas City. Sharretts, owner of Bayou Bistro and Bar in Bayou Vista, was struck in the back after another driver fired multiple rounds into his vehicle during what authorities described as a road rage incident.

A camera mounted in a car behind the two vehicles captured footage showing the other driver extend a handgun and fire several shots. The shooter drove at high speed afterward in an apparent attempt to flee. A responding Texas City police officer stopped the vehicle and took the driver into custody; officers recovered a Glock 9mm handgun, an empty magazine, and a spent shell casing from the vehicle.

The killing left family, friends, and the community mourning a local business owner. If anyone saw the shooting or the events leading up to it on Highway 3, please come forward with information.
