A 54-year-old male was shot in the torso and hospitalized after an incident at the Texaco gas station located at 5716 Gulf Freeway.
Surveillance footage shows a Hispanic male suspect, likely in his mid-20s, approaching the victim’s truck. The victim appeared to be resting inside the parked vehicle when the suspect initially looked inside from the passenger side before moving to the driver’s side, opening the door, and startling the victim.
As the victim attempted to drive away, the suspect began firing, striking the victim and causing the truck to crash into a ditch and damage a water main. The suspect fled while still shooting and has not been apprehended.
Responding Officers applied a chest seal at the scene, and the man is expected to survive.
If you have any information about the suspect or the shooting you are urged to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
