As of Sunday afternoon (February 15) the identities of the three victims who were shot last Friday (February 13) have not been released and there has not been an update on the condition of the woman who had previously been a relationship with the suspect.
The sheriff’s office Facebook page Sunday afternoon said 45 year old Jeffery Rayshion Foster of Midway “was the suspect in a mass tragedy involving a double homicide and attempted murder”.
Foster, who was caught by DPS troopers and deputies with the Madison and Leon County sheriff’s offices, died while being transported to the Madison County jail. Foster’s death is being investigated by the Texas Rangers.
Update February 14, 2026:
The Madison County sheriff’s office edits its Facebook post about the death of the suspect in the shooting deaths of two men and the critical injuries sustained by a woman who was also shot.
The initial post said the suspect became unresponsive and died while inside the Madison County jail.
The edited post says the suspect became unresponsive prior to arriving at the jail.
In both posts, there is a statement that lifesaving measures were immediately initiated.
Original story February 13, 2026:
The Madison County sheriff’s office and the Texas Rangers are investigating three people who were shot, resulting in two deaths, and the death of the suspect while he was in custody.
All this happened during a five hour period on Friday (February 13) at four locations.
As of Friday afternoon, no names have been released.
Deputies first responded to an armed robbery at a business in Midway where a woman was shot multiple times by someone she knew and had previously been in a relationship. She was taken to a Bryan hospital in critical condition.
The suspect was caught by DPS troopers and deputies with the Madison and Leon County sheriff’s offices on FM 1119 and taken to the Madison County jail. About one hour after being caught, the suspect became unresponsive and died. The Texas Rangers is investigating the suspect’s death.
That was followed by the sheriff’s office responding to separate reports of two men who were found shot to death along or near FM 2346. Investigators believe the suspect who shot the woman also shot the two men.
