A Louisiana murder suspect was killed on Beltway 8 in the Cloverleaf area after being struck by a car while fleeing a stolen vehicle, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said. The incident happened around 10 p.m. last Friday near Wallisville Road, as reported by KHOU.
Deputies, acting on a tip from Jefferson Parish, found a vehicle connected to a crime. When approached, two men, later identified as Ethan and Tristan Bush, ran. Ethan Bush, 23, was struck and killed on the highway, while Tristan was found hiding in a nearby backyard. Earlier that day, 62-year-old Lyft driver Lawanna J. Lewis was found shot to death in a ditch in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Her car, missing at the time, was later found in Harris County, according to ABC13.
"One of the occupants climbed up onto the Beltway 8 northbound side, made it over to the northbound side and was strck by a vehicle and pronounced deceased on scene," HCSO Capt. Lovett said in a statement obtained by KHOU. Ethan Bush, involved in the murder of Lawanna J. Lewis in Louisiana, was killed during a flight in a stolen vehicle. His 26-year-old brother, Tristan Bush, faces second-degree murder charges and is awaiting extradition to Louisiana. Authorities continue to investigate, with additional charges possible as the case develops.
