Surveillance Photos of Male Wanted for Questioning in Fatal Shooting at 6873 South Gessner Road (Turn in the hero)
It’s of Houston News ^ | 6 Jan 2023

Posted on 01/07/2023 3:16:27 PM PST by rey

Houston police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a male wanted for questioning in the fatal shooting of a robbery suspect at 6873 South Gessner Road about 11:30 p.m. on Thursday (Jan. 5).

Surveillance photos of the male and his vehicle, a 1970s or ’80s model pickup truck with no bed, are attached to this news release. Investigators want to speak with the man for his role in the shooting. No charges have been filed.

The identity of the deceased male suspect, believed to be in his 20s, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeants M. Arrington, C. Duncan and Detectives S. Overstreet and L. Lovelace reported:

Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at the restaurant at the above address and observed an unknown black male in all black clothing, a black ski mask, and black gloves had been shot multiple times inside the business. Paramedics pronounced him deceased.

Witnesses told officers the suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a pistol at patrons as he demanded their money. As the suspect collected money from patrons, one of the patrons, described as a white or Hispanic male, produced a gun of his own and shot the suspect multiple times. The shooter collected the stolen money from the suspect and returned the money to other patrons. He and other patrons (victims) then fled the scene.

Investigators are asking the shooter and the victims who left the scene to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 to provide statements regarding the incident.

I would never turn him in and he should never speak to the criminal police.

I seem to remember a Dirty Harry movie where something similar happened.

Here's the unedited video.

Good guy might be in a little bit of trouble. Apeared he delivered the coup de grâce after the robber was down.

Unfortunately, Harris County (Houston) District Attorney, Democrat Kim Ogg, is Soros/BLM bought and owned.

Full clip with audio of self defense shooting in Houston robbery (Twitter)

He's not going to be hard to find. Here's his ride.

C’mon man! I believe that truck was spotted in Delaware during one of SloJo’s many visits.

The shooter is a hero. The dead thug will never terrorize another person. Imagine the nightmares of all the people he has robbed, assaulted, etc. I am not happy a life was lost, but I’m glad the thug was stopped. So what if today it was not loaded, not real, whatever. Tomorrow it could have been real.

“””Investigators want to speak with the man for his role in the shooting.”””


So they can thank him for taking out one of the many scumbags in Houston.

That last shot would have been fine if he were a LEO. Unfortunately, he's just a regular citizen. Or he might even be a bad guy who did the right thing in this instance.

I thought this "community policing" is what was suppose to replace having police officers.

I have to say, so far it seems to be working.

The criminal was committing a felony, premeditated.

Seems things worked out.

He’s safe in Mexico by now. Good for him. And if you catch him, go ahead, try for that conviction with a jury of 12. Just needs one vote to walk.

Leftist police collect information and leftist DAs will prosecute anyone for political gain. Many people are convicted of crimes they never knew even existed and thrown in prison even when defending themselves from criminals.
