It was a call to Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest of the suspect believed responsible for a double shooting in Brenham.

Kendrick Coleman, 27, was taken into custody without incident Friday night outside the Brenham Wal Mart. The caller had tipped off authorities that Coleman was riding in a car with two women. Police found the vehicle and Coleman in the Wal Mart parking lot.

Coleman is charged with two counts of attempted murder in connection with the June 13th shootings of Terrance and Trenton Howard. Both were treated for non-life threatening injuries.

KB: It took BPD almost 2 weeks to find him in a small town. A professional police dept. would have called the Texas rangers and had in in a few hours. EXP the bank robber in CS was arrested in hours in one of the largest cities in the USA Houston.

That is funny, Funny! Maybe one jilted girlfriend who was not allowed to ride around with them anymore got mad and called in on him - any way you look at it, he probably is toast!

Actually, the only reason Brenham got him was because someone called in a crimestoppers tip...guess he made someone mad ?!? This guy's toast...with 2 attempted murder charges, maybe he'll never get out!

Yes, way to go Brenham PD and Washington County Sheriff's Office - good job catching the guy - I cannot believe he was such an idiot to stay in the area and then to go out riding with people in a car - they do say criminals do dumb things and this is one example. Glad he was dumb tho, cuz it got him caught! Right, nice mug!

Yeah Brenham pd along with Washington County S.O. got him, all these bashers of Brenham PD need to apologize now, BPD and WCSO got him without the help of TX. Rangers or anybody else, thank you to those who still have confidence in our men in Brenham and Wash. CO.
