A Texas couple who met with the parents of a teenage girl dating their son were arrested after the conversation allegedly took a violent turn.
Luther Madison II, 39, and Angelica Madison, 39, were both charged with aggravated assault on March 18 following an incident the day before. According to a statement from Harris County Constable Precinct 4, the couple were meeting up with two other parents who wanted to discuss the romantic relationship between both couples’ respective children. Police said that the Madisons’ teenage son was dating the teenage daughter of the other couple, who were not named — but one of those four parents allegedly had a gun on them.
According to the constable, the two couples were meeting “to ask [the Madisons] for help in keeping [their] son away from their daughter as she is too young to be dating.” While no specific details were given about the reported escalation, the conversation became heated and turned into a “verbal and physical altercation” out on the street of the Madisons’ neighborhood in Hockley, located some 35 miles northwest of Houston.
Police said that Angelica Madison allegedly brought the gun to the meeting and kept it in her pocket. At some point, police said, she gave the gun to Luther Madison, who then allegedly shot the husband in the chest and then pointed the gun at the wife as he threatened to shoot her too.
When deputies arrived at the scene, police said that they found the husband with a gunshot wound to the chest. In another post on Facebook, the Constable said the alleged victim was airlifted to the hospital. His condition was not made public.
Angelica Madison and Luther Madison were both arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They were booked into the Harris County Jail and bonded out. Both parents are due back in court on May 20.
