Rocky Lee was 57 and a long-time deputy with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office when he was shot multiple times in the bathroom of his home in Stagecoach Farms, near Magnolia, Texas, on May 25, 2018. The incident was initially reported as a burglary, but investigators later concluded there had been no break-in and that Rocky’s brother, Robert Lee, a former Stagecoach Police Department officer, was the shooter.
Robert Lee, 60 at the time, told authorities he believed someone had broken into his home. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers determined the shooting was intentional; Robert Lee was arrested and charged with murder. In court his defense argued he suffered from a severe mental disease or defect and did not know his actions were wrong. The judge found him not guilty by reason of insanity and committed him to a mental health facility under continued court and state supervision.
The case drew attention because the victim and the shooter were brothers and both had law enforcement backgrounds. Does anyone have information about the Lees or the Stagecoach Farms area that could shed more light on what happened that night?
