Detectives Seek Identities of Serial Car-Jacking Suspects

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 Saturday, January 12, 2019, the complainant had just pulled into her apartment complex, located at 9955 Buffalo Speedway, in Houston, Texas and parked her vehicle.  The complainant stated that two black males approached her vehicle and both had their faces covered with t-shirts. The complainant stated that one of the males grabbed her by the arm and forced her out of the vehicle and then demanded her purse. The complainant complied with the suspects, at which time they grabbed her keys from her hand and then left the location in her vehicle.

The vehicle was recovered a short time later in the 3700 block of Southlawn after the complainant had tracked her cell phone to that location. The same suspects are also believed to be part of a crew responsible for ten other robberies (mostly car-jackings) in the south side of Houston from January 4th to the 12th. HPD case #51678-19

Suspect #2: Black male, 16 to 19 years old, 5’8 to 6’, 130 to 140 pounds and dark complexion.
