Montgomery, Texas – In a press release the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged an investigation was being conducted into an officer involved shooting yesterday around the 7000 block of Forest Hills Drive in Montgomery, Texas.

At approximately 3:45 p.m., Deputies from Montgomery County responded to a crash involving an alleged intoxicated suspect in the area of Forest Hills Dr. Upon arriving Deputies attempted to locate the male suspect, who allegedly fled into a heavily wooded area to evade capture.

During the search for the suspect, it was alleged 27-year-old Tobias Sangster of Montgomery emerged from hiding and brandished what appeared to be a rifle, pointing it at the Deputies.

A Montgomery County Sheriffs Office Deputy discharged his firearm multiple times. The suspect subsequently dropped the weapon and was taken into custody.

It was later discovered the suspect sustained no injuries from the shots fired and that the rifle was, in fact, a pellet gun.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Homicide and Violent Crimes Unit, along with Crime Scene Investigators, are conducting an investigation into the shooting incident.

Sangster was booked into the Montgomery County Jail facing charges of Aggravated Assault on a Public Servant and Driving While Intoxicated. Sangster is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $100,000 bond for the Aggravated Assault on a Public Servant charge and a $1,500 bond for the DWI.

On April 19, 2024 the Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 10000 block of Twin Circles in Montgomery, Texas regarding to a deceased person. A forensic investigation uncovered the victim died from a lethal dose of Fentanyl. Members of the Montgomery County Narcotics Enforcement Team (MOCONET) were involved in the investigation.

MOCONET is a Houston High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force that includes the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Walker County Sheriff’s Office, Walker County District Attorney’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Through the course of the investigation, MOCONET identified Keian Cormier as the suspect allegedly responsible for providing the Fentanyl that resulted in the fatal overdose.

Cormier, who was already in custody at the Montgomery County Jail, was facing a Murder charge for a previous Fentanyl-related death that he allegedly caused in March of 2024 involving a 21 year old male victim.

Cormier is now facing charges for a second count of Murder that he allegedly caused in April of 2024.

Cormier is no stranger to the danger of drug overdoses. In April of 2017, Cormier’s friend Jeremy died from a narcotics overdose. Ironically Cormier’s Murder charge booking photo features Cormier with a tattoo on his neck that says “RIP-Jerm” commemorating his friend’s death.

Cormier is now facing two first degree Murder felonies under the new law. As of September 1, 2023, the 88th Regular Session of the Texas Legislator passed House Bill 6, which states that a person can be charged with “Fentanyl Murder” if they supply or distribute Fentanyl and it leads to the death of an individual. Cormier may face up to 99 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for each count of Murder.
