(911 call received, prompting emergency response by Law Enforcement)
On Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at about 10:23 p.m., Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office Emergency
Communications received a 911 call from a male at 1207 Mahogany Run Dr, Katy, TX, who made verbal
threats that he was about to kill everyone, he was armed with a knife, and was about to go on a rampage.
Deputies were dispatched.
(LE Arrival on-scene – Officer Involved Shooting)
The first responding Deputy arrived at the listed address at about 10:26 p.m. and attempted to contact the
caller or occupants of the residence by knocking on the front and back doors, which were locked, but received
no response. While the Deputy was returning to the front yard, the decedent (later identified as Mark VIGH)
exited the front door and rushed toward the Deputy holding a knife above his head. Following ignored
commands to stop and drop the knife, the Deputy discharged his handgun, striking Mark VIGH, who
collapsed in the yard. The Deputy called for EMS and initiated medical intervention until EMS arrival.
(Medical Transport/ Death Pronouncement at Medical Facility)
Mark VIGH was transported from the scene to Memorial Hermann – Katy Hospital (23900 Katy Fwy, Katy,
Harris County, TX 77494), where he was pronounced deceased at 2326 hours by Dr. M. Lucas.
(Case Investigation)
This OIS/ICD is being investigated by the Texas Rangers, along with the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s
Office.

and assigned HCIFS case number (ML26-1475).
