Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s
Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the suspects
responsible for a series of aggravated robberies.
On Saturday, December 8th, 2018, at approximately 9:00 pm,
the complainant was walking with her sons on their residential street at the
200 block of E. 12th street on the sidewalk. A dark colored SUV pulled up next
to them and a black male exited the passenger seat and approached the
complainant stating that he was going to kill her if she didn’t give him her
handbag while pointing a black small revolver toward her face. At first, the complainant refused to give up
her purse, however the suspect forcefully grabbed it and was able to overpower
it from her. The suspect then jumped
back into the waiting SUV and sped off from the location. HPD case #1547691-18
On Saturday, December 8th, 2018, at approximately 9:30 pm,
the complainants had just walked out of the CVS located at 1003 Richmond Avenue. The complainants were walking southbound
toward Montrose Boulevard and walked past a black SUV that was parked on the
east side of CVS. The complainants
stated after they walked past the SUV, a black male got out of the vehicle and
approached them from behind. The
complainant stated that when she turned around, the male was pointing a black
handgun at her and demanding that she give him her purse. The complainant
stated the male then grabbed her purse, which had the straps wrapped around her
wrist. The complainant and the suspect
wrestled over the purse and in doing so, the suspect and complainant fell to
the ground, where she hit her head on the pavement. The suspect eventually stood up and stole the
complainant’s purse. The suspect then pointed
his handgun at the other complainant and demanded her purse but he did not get
it as they were starting to draw attention to themselves. The suspect jumped
back into the black suv and then sped off. HPD case #1548011-18
The suspects committed two additional robberies which
were reported by the UTMB Police Department.
The Complainant stated that on Friday, December 7th at
approximately 6:30 am, she was walking on the sidewalk at 1700 S. Braeswood. An
unknown black male approached her and forcibly took her purse by cutting her
purse strap with a knife. The complainant stated the suspect told her that if
she did not give up her purse, he was going to shoot her. The suspect then ran
towards an awaiting dark colored SUV and fled the scene. UTMB case

The first was at a bus stop at the 6800 block of Bertner
at 11:19 pm. The complainant in that case, a medical doctor from MD Anderson, stated
he observed a black SUV pull up to the stop sign, but did not pay any attention
to it. The complainant stated he then
felt an unknown object strike him on the back of his neck and a male attempting
to take his back pack off of his back. The suspect then struck him multiple
times on the head and nose with a semi-automatic handgun. A brief struggle
ensued and the suspect demanded the complainant’s money and threatened to shoot
him. The suspect eventually gave up and ran back to the waiting vehicle. UTMB
