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.
Death wish.
From what I could see the criminal still had his weapon and moved. You can’t take chances and ‘hope’ the criminal won’t get off another round. In fear for his life the citizen made sure the criminal was unable to continue the threat.
I don’t see nuffin.
Glad he didn’t hit the guy sitting by the juke box.
Probably an illegal. Round up all of the illegals in Texas.
That last shot would have been fine if he were a LEO.
= = =
There is a shortage of the ‘proper’ execution drugs.
He substituted lead.
Playing games nothin’. This is FAFO writ large.
Clean shoot.
No bill.

Did you see anything Tigger?
A bear fell on me.
I don’t know him.
This guy no doubt left fingerprints, and probably DNA at the scene.
Rule for Harris County. Don’t go there. County is Neo-Fascist with a DA, judges and Just-us system where you are guilty until proven innocent.
Don’t talk to the police or the terrorist DA.
Isn’t it racist to presume his gender identity?
If he was a LEO, he’d have found a dog to shoot and arrested someone for not wearing a mask.
Sure it wasn't one of the early Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies where the crime victims gave conflicting descriptions.
And then there is the original “Death Wish” with Charles Bronson.🤔
They will find this guy easy.
Hope not
Just the legal costs could break him, even if he beat it, judging by his truck.
