SHERMAN, TX — The community of Sherman is reeling after a shooting early Sunday morning left a local woman hospitalized with serious injuries. According to the Sherman Police Department, officers were dispatched around 1:53 a.m. on November 2, 2025, to the intersection of West McGee Street and North Travis Street following reports of a woman who had been shot.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered an adult female suffering from a single gunshot wound to her back. First responders immediately provided emergency medical care before transporting her to a nearby hospital. Her current condition has not been officially released, but authorities have confirmed that she survived the initial incident and remains under medical care.

Investigators quickly identified 19-year-old Tradavian Taylor as the suspected shooter. Preliminary reports indicate that the shooting stemmed from an altercation that escalated into violence.

Residents in the area say they were startled by the sound of gunfire just before 2 a.m. “It all happened so fast,” one neighbor recounted. “We heard the shots and then saw the flashing lights everywhere. It’s frightening because this is normally such a quiet part of town.”
