Violent Houston Home Invasion Remains Unsolved

Note: This video can be disturbing to watch, but since the crime has remained unsolved since April of 2017, it has been requested by the victim that the full video be released to the public. The victim was shot seven times during the home invasion and has since recovered from his injuries. Viewer discretion is advised.

Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the suspects responsible for an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

On Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at around 9:22 am, three males, armed with handguns, committed a violet home invasion, located at the 16000 block of Truxton, in Houston, Texas. The males entered the residence and immediately began to shoot at the male complainant, striking him numerous times. Once the male complainant falls to the ground, one of the suspects then approaches a female complainant and demands money. That suspect then attempted to shoot the female complainant, but the weapon malfunctioned. The suspects then fled the scene. HPD case #424208-17
