Sylvia Casares, chef and owner of Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, was shot in the stomach on Monday night at her home near Fulshear, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.

Casares was taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital and is currently in stable condition at an undisclosed Houston hospital.

Casares's alleged shooter is Michael Warren, her boyfriend as well as a familiar face to those who frequented Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen's popular food truck, No Borders.

Warren often manned the food truck and was also a partner in the Sylvia's restaurant chain. Warren remains at large today.

According to KHOU, Warren "fled in a black 2004 GMC Yukon" after the shooting. His vehicle has Texas license plates 42M-VT1.

Warren is now considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should immediately contact Crime Stoppers at 281-342-8477 or the FBCSO at 281-341-4665.

Meanwhile, employees at the Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen location at 6401 Woodway have set up a guest book for friends and fans of Casares to sign with well-wishes. Guests are encouraged to come and write words of encouragement to Casares; the book will be taken to the hospital in a few days by family members.

According to a source close to Casares, she is expected to be released from the hospital within the week and will likely return to work within three months.
