Suspect charged in deadly Huffman shooting, victim identified as Stephan Duman
A murder charge followed a Huffman shooting after Scott Douglas Wildman told investigators he feared Stephan Duman, who died on Rolling Creek Drive.
Scott Douglas Wildman was charged with murder after investigators said a dispute in the 700 block of Rolling Creek Drive in Huffman escalated into gunfire and left Stephan Duman dead. Wildman told investigators he feared Duman, but Harris County detectives said their early findings showed the confrontation began as a verbal argument.
Deputies were called to the northeast Harris County scene on Tuesday, July 15, after reports of a shooting. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said deputies found a man who had been shot and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Gonzalez later said deputies located the alleged shooter in a nearby residence.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as Stephan Duman, born 5/16/82. The defendant was identified as Scott Douglas Wildman, born 2/21/81. With those names released, the case moved from an active shooting response into a homicide investigation centered on what happened between the two men before the first shots were fired.
Detectives said the shooting followed a verbal dispute between Wildman and Duman. That account put the focus on the short chain of events that turned a neighborhood argument into a fatal encounter in Huffman, a community in northeast Harris County that has seen repeated law-enforcement attention around domestic and personal conflicts.
Wildman remained charged with murder as investigators continued examining the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The sheriff's office has said deputies made the arrest after finding the alleged shooter nearby, and the case now rests on how prosecutors and investigators interpret the claimed fear, the dispute itself and the gunfire that ended Duman's life.
