Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspect responsible for at least three store robberies in north Houston.
On May 25, 2019 at 12:50 pm, an unknown male
armed with a semi-automatic handgun entered the Sam Washateria, located at 800
Crosstimbers, in Houston, Texas. The male immediately grabbed the clothing of a
customer and began to drag him to the cash register. Once at the register, he pointed the gun at
the employee as he demanded and took money from the register. The employee
complied and the suspect then left the scene in a black 2008-2001 Chevrolet
Avalanche. HPD case #660058-19
A short time later at 1:28 pm, the same
male entered the Amaris Bakery located at 614 E. Crosstimbers, which is a
couple of blocks away from the washateria.
The male spoke with an employee and appeared to be making a purchase,
when he suddenly took a pistol out from his clothing and pointed it at the
employees. The suspect proceeded to go
behind the counter and grabbed the clothing of an employee as he pushed them through
the business. Once the suspect had the
money from the register, he left the business in the same black Chevrolet
Avalanche. HPD case #660205-19
On June 1, 2019 at 6:52 pm, the suspect
walked into the Metro PCS, located at 5101 Tidwell, in Houston, Texas. The male
asked for the manager and then pulled out a handgun and demanded that everyone
get on the ground. The suspect demanded that everyone keep their heads down or
he would shoot one of the females in the store. The suspect removed the money
from within the store and then fled in a dark colored Mercedes Benz sedan. HPD
