Houston teen on life support after being shot in apparent road rage incident on the way home from Astros game

A 17-year-old high school student was headed home from a Houston Astros game with his family Tuesday night when he was shot inside his car during an apparent road rage incident, according to police. The teenager, identified by local outlets as David Xavier Castro, remains on life support, despite initial reports that he had died, the Houston Police Department clarified Wednesday. Castro was one of two passengers in his father’s pickup Tuesday night when the older man “exchanged hand gestures” with the driver of a white Buick sedan, police said. The other driver followed Castro’s car onto the freeway, then fired several shots into the truck, hitting Castro at least once.

Police have not publicly identified a suspect, but are searching for a Black man driving a four-door, white Buick sedan with a sunroof.

Anyone with information on the suspect or the wanted vehicle is asked to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

If my kid had been the one shot, the black man would be better off turning himself in before this White man found him.

I’m not blaming the victim. But that right there was a tactical error.

... and yet the elite consider our biggest problems to be “white supremacy”, “climate change”, a tired “pandemic” and gender/race (i.e., aggrieved victims groups) “equity” (”equality” is so passe ...)

Anymore when I drive anywhere I am armed. My gun is within easy reach. I do not antagonize other drivers, I also don’t let anyone drive in my blind spot on either side. If a car gets there I either speed up or brake so I can clearly see the car, driver and passengers. If someone gets to following me they follow me to the nearest police station if I’m in the city. I call 911 on the way. Especially anywhere around a big city with significant thug population. When on the interstate if I see a gun I brake fast and head toward the shoulder with my gun in hand. If they follow me to the shoulder I am laying low and going out the passenger door with the safety off and ready to fire. This stuff is getting way out of hand...

“going out the passenger door” is tough with today’s seats and consoles.

By your line of reasoning, the tactical error was that he didn’t shoot first.

I quit making “hand gestures” years ago. People are wound way too tight anymore.

Why do so many people LOVE to ride in your blind spot. They seek it and won't give it back.

I always angle my side view mirrors to see the blind spot.

Quite some time ago, at least 6 months and probably more. It's all the rage in the MSM. Of course it's not "we" because I won't capitalize "black".

But I think capitalizing "Buick" is proper because it's a name.
