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, May 18, 2019 at 12:36 a.m.,
the complainant was standing outside of her vehicle in a parking lot at 715 W.
Mount Houston, in Houston, Texas. At the same time, two unknown males in a
vehicle pulled into the parking lot. One of the males exited the vehicle and
entered the complainant’s driver’s seat in an attempt to steal the vehicle
while her two children were still inside it. The complainant yelled at the
suspect and was quickly assisted by several witnesses, who were injured as the
suspect was trying to drive away in the complainant’s vehicle. Eventually, the
suspect was pulled out of the driver’s seat of the complainant’s vehicle. The
witnesses then attempted to detain the suspect and a struggle ensued.
At the same time, an independent witness
had pulled his vehicle into the parking lot in order to use his GPS. The
witness then sees a group of individuals fighting with a male and attempts to
assist the male (suspect) believing that he is helping. The witnesses then
turned their attention to the independent witness and start assaulting him
believing that he is the second suspect. Meanwhile, the suspect who attempted
to steal the car gets away and gets back into the suspect vehicle with an unknown
driver and they flee the scene.
The Robbery Division is seeking the
identity of the suspects that attempted to steal the complainant’s vehicle while
her two children were inside. Because of the incident, several of the
individuals that assisted in detaining the suspect(s) were injured as the
suspect was trying to flee the scene in the complainant’s vehicle. HPD case
