A suspected shooter is in police custody Thursday after injuring his ex-wife and killing her husband in their League City home, according to the Galveston County District Attorney's Office.

Sayantan Ghose, 41, of Richmond has been arrested and charged with murder in the late Wednesday shootings.

Police found 43-year-old Clarence Wayne Harris dead in the driveway in front of his house in the 700 block of Mayhill Ridge, according to the probable cause affidavit. Harris suffered from seven bullet wounds.

Clarence's wife, 36-year-old Amanda Harris, was taken to an area hospital. She suffered from two gunshot wounds, the affidavit said.

Amanda Harris called police shortly before 9 p.m, according to the affidavit. She told police that she was going to make a citizen arrest because her ex-husband, Ghose, was at her doorstep.

Amanda Harris also disclosed to police that Ghose had been stalking her for years. She and her husband apparently both had weapons on them.

The police officer on the line heard her scream, "Get away from my gun!" and then additional screams and yelling in the background.

Shots also began to fire off in the background. Ghose had already left the home by the time police arrived, according to a news release from League City Police Department.

At the hospital, Amanda was interviewed by a detective. She explained that when she parked in her driveway, she noticed Ghose standing on her doorstep, the affidavit said.

Before the gunfire, Ghose apparently was arguing with the woman's current husband, Wayne Harris, in front of the house, when Ghose eventually shot the man.

A bail of $150,000 has been set for Ghose, police said in the news release.
