Woman accused of trying to run over her ex-boyfriend with her vehicle

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A woman is accused of throwing a brick through her ex-boyfriend's windows and trying to run him over with her vehicle.

Sade Perry, 26, is charged with aggravated assault of a family member and criminal mischief. According to court documents, on the morning of September 8 Perry went to the home of her ex-boyfriend and started banging on the front door. The man told authorities that he answered the door but Perry was belligerent so he shut the door.

The man told investigators he left his home a short time later, then received a phone call from a neighbor that two of his front windows had been broken by Perry. He returned home and saw the two broken windows and a brick lying inside his house.

Court documents state the man was walking back from his neighbor's house when Perry, traveling at a high rate of speed in her vehicle, tried to strike him, but he jumped out of the way. The man told police that Perry got out of her vehicle and chased him with a can of mace, but couldn't catch him.

Police say Perry then drove back to her ex's house and got out of her vehicle with a golf club. The man said by the time he got to the house, two more of his windows were broken.

Restaurateur Sylvia Casares recovering after being shot by ex-boyfriend, who's been arrested

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A man who authorities say shot a well-known Houston restaurateur has been arrested in Fort Bend County.

The suspect, who investigators say had been considered armed and dangerous, was arrested by sheriff's deputies and a Texas Ranger Thursday afternoon at a Rosenberg motel. Michael Warren, 58, is charged with aggravated assault.

On Monday night, the Ft. Bend Co. Sheriff's Office says Houston restaurateur Sylvia Casares was wounded after being shot by her ex-boyfriend. Investigators say it happened at Casares' residence in Fulshear.

Years of success at Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen earned Casares an Eyewitness News profile in 2007 and recognition from the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

"She has worked very hard to be where she is today. And we just wish her well," said Dr. Laura Murillo with the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Investigators say at around 9pm on March 12, an argument erupted between Casares and her ex-boyfriend, Michael Warren, at her home in the 1400 block of Foster Lake in Fulshear. She was shot at least once and taken by air ambulance to a local hospital. Warren was seen leaving her residence in a black 2004 GMC Yukon with licence plate 42M-VT1.

Casares, well known in the Houston restaurant scene, underwent surgery after the shooting.

"I think that the lesson here is that domestic violence and these types of things happen to and can happen to anyone," said Dr. Murillo.

Casares is in stable condition in a Houston hospital. She is recovering as family members run day-to-day operations of Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen.

"We're just sorry to hear that she recently undergone this tragedy, but she has that can do spirit. We know that she'll recuperate and do just fine," Dr. Murillo said.

The manhunt stretched all the way to Lafayette, Louisiana, the suspect's hometown, but ended Thursday afternoon when Warren was arrested at the Palace Inn at Highway 59 near the intersection of FM 2218 in Rosenberg. The arrest occurred without incident.

Officials say they recovered Warren's vehicle in the parking lot of a Lafayette hospital Thursday afternoon. The suspect apparently was returned to Fort Bend County by a relative.

Warren is in the Fort Bend County Jail with a $100,000 bond.
