LA GRANGE, Texas – A man was arrested Sunday morning after shots were fired following a meeting for a horseback ride in Fayette County.

According to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, officers responded to the 6000 block of Munke Road in La Grange around 1 a.m. after receiving reports that shots were fired at a party following an annual Capital City Trail Riders (CCT) ride.

An FSCO officer reported hearing five to seven rapid-fire shots coming from the party. At that point, 911 calls came in from witnesses reporting gunshots and a fight in progress, the sheriff’s office said.

When officers arrived, security hired by CCT had already arrested the suspected shooter and confiscated his weapon, the FCSO said.

Kavion Joiner, 25, of Elgin, was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace for brandishing and discharging a firearm in public. He was also charged with trespassing with a firearm and failure to leave when requested.

Joiner remains in custody at the Dan R. Beck Justice Center.
