Police are investigating a shooting that left a man dead early Wednesday morning at a Huntsville business.
Police said Wednesday that Terry Reginald Green, from Industry — some 18 miles south of Brenham — was found dead at around 4:30 a.m. at T.J. Burdett & Sons Recycling near the intersection of state Highway 75 and Interstate 45.
The business owner — whose name was not released as of late Wednesday night — shot the man in the chest with a shotgun after he suspected the man to be trespassing.
“The business owner confronted an intruder that had made his way into the locked fenced area of the closed business,” said Sgt. Jim Barnes with the Huntsville Police Department.
The owner told Green to stay put, but Barnes said the man refused. The owner then shot Green an unknown number of times in the chest.
“The business owner was armed with a shotgun and attempted to hold the intruder at gunpoint,” Barnes said. “The intruder failed to comply and was shot in the chest area.”
Green was pronounced dead at the scene by Precinct Justice of the Peace Janie Farris.
Further details were not immediately available, pending an investigation.
