HUMBLE, Texas – A Humble convenience store clerk was shot and killed after police said he went after suspected shoplifters who stole a bag of chips on Friday.
“No one ever anticipates just going to work that day and not coming home,” Humble Assistant Police Chief Dan Zientek said at the scene, near the turnaround lanes in the 7400 block of Will Clayton Parkway. The shooting happened around 11:30 a.m. Investigators remained on the scene until around 6 p.m.
The suspects, described as thin young men, remain on the run and are wanted for capital murder. Police said one was wearing a dark hoodie with the letter “B” on the chest and blue jean pants. The second man was wearing a lighter color parka-type jacket, possibly blue with a logo on the right upper back, and dark pants.
Surveillance cameras capture theft Surveillance videos from the Sunoco at 18228 Highway 59 southbound service road released by Humble Police show the men entering the store as the 42-year-old employee followed behind them. Inside the store, the men paced around and focused on the chip aisle.
The video then appears to show one of the men put a bag of chips in his pants before the suspects spend a bit more time in the store and leave after two minutes of being inside.
The worker, who has not been identified, is then seen on video following them out of the store before engaging in some sort of conversation. As the suspects walked away, police said the employee got in his car and followed them.
“They started shooting at him, in which he tried to reverse his car and ended up on the median over there,” Zientek said.
Detectives were seen focusing on the victim’s car, which KPRC 2 cameras captured with bullet holes in the windshield and back passenger window. Police said he was hit by one of the bullets and died while still seated in the driver’s seat of his car.
Police described it as “tragic” for many reasons.
“You’ve lost a great citizen who’s just trying to work and do their job, and instead we have two people that also have ruined their lives because they will be going to jail,” Zientek said.
The suspects fled the scene on foot. A Houston Police helicopter, K-9 teams from Harris County Pct. 4, and patrol officers searched the area for the suspects, however, they were unable to find them.
Anyone with any information is urged to call the Humble Police Department at 281-446-7127.
Sunoco, wasn't there a thread just yesterday about a rash of robberies at Sunocos in Oakland CA?
Nobody ever anticipates being murdered over a bag of potato chips either. Air Jordans, yes, but potato chips?
So if the Humble PD has pics of the perps up, why not describe the perps?
Is there more to this than Deep State’s lets-you-and-him-fight fixation on skin color...?
Are the perps migrants...?
Cops are being "fattest"...and probably racist.
Agents of the Left. Agents of Obama. According to Biden: Biden Voters.
Well it used to be...
We did indeed.
Sigh…..
If blacks wanted to start a race war in this country, they could not be doing a better job.
My misremember, Shell, Chevron and In-N-Out burger, not Sunoco.
Be aware: hood rats will shoot you over a bag of chips. You’ll be dead, they’ll still be out there stealing, and no one will care because you are obviously racist. What a delightful society the Left has fashioned for us!
What was that Kipling poem about Saxons?
Except, by creating a mortal fear of being racist, the Black racists have already defeated their opponents.
Fear of being racist prevents a war and fighting to destroy the Black plague
Yes about 20 years ago a rent subsidized apartment building was built and that brought in a lot of riff raff. There is no cheap mass transit system out to the suburbs so that kept most of the trash in Houston proper. I lived in Huffman just across the lake for 25 years till I moved to Alabama 9 years ago.
I hope these two bastards are shot trying to escape. Another victim of Jpe Bribem”s stolen election.
😡😡😡 Welcome to Bathhouse Barry’s Woke World.
They want us dead or in concentration camps. This is what they are teaching the minorities in the schools and at their homes. Surprise, surprise, surprise...until the situations are called what they really are then this is going to be more commonplace.
Kipling never wrote a poem about Saxons. He did write one about the English. It's called The Beginnings
Someone else took his poem and replaced every instance of the word "English" in the poem with "Saxon." Not sure why. It was about the hate he held against the Huns for killing his son in WWI.
“described as thin young men”
If this was my child who was murdered by these feral murderers, the writer, editor and owner of the origin of this piece ought fear for their safety.
This is death by a thousand cuts and permissive acts such as this woke bs supports the subculture which will NEVER be countered as a force without a COUNTERFORCE.

Mischievous teens.
