Car-Jacking Victim Left with Memory Loss After Assault

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

On Friday, September 13, 2019 at around 9 pm, the complainant was outside of his residence at the 7500 block of Shiner, in Houston, Texas. At some point, the complainant was approached by an unknown person(s) and was severely assaulted, to the point that he was left unconscious, and his truck was stolen. The complainant was found by his neighbor and was transported to the hospital with serious head injuries. The complainant was eventually able to recover from his injuries, but has no memory as to what occurred or how his truck was taken.

The victim’s vehicle, a black Ford F-150, was recovered in a parking lot at the 4000 block of Belle Park Drive on September 23rd. A witness, unaware of this incident, observed two males park the Ford F-150 in a parking lot and wipe down the vehicle prior to leaving. The witness noted that the incident appeared to be suspicious and took pictures of the two males as they abandoned the complainant’s vehicle. The witness then called the police and reported a suspicious vehicle, at which time officers arrived and learned that the vehicle was stolen.

Although the incident involving the victim was not captured on camera, Houston Police Robbery Detectives were able to locate cameras from a nearby residence and business, which shows what appears to be a 4-door Jeep leaving with the victims truck just moments after the incident. In addition, the Houston Police Robbery Division is seeking the identity of the males that are seen leaving the victims truck in the parking lot 10 days after the incident occurred. If anyone has any information about this case, they are encouraged to contact the Robbery Division at 713-308-0700 or Crime Stoppers.

Crime Stoppers may pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and/or arrest of the suspect in this case. Information may be reported by calling 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online at www.crime-stoppers.org
