Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspect responsible for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
On Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at 2:30 am,
an unknown male entered the Gulf gas station, located at 9004 North Freeway, in
Houston, Texas. The male walked into the store with a bag, pulled a rifle out
of it, and demanded the money from the cash register. The male then pointed the
gun towards the clerk while continuing to demand the money from the cash
register. The clerk immediately hid behind the counter as the suspect stuck the
barrel of the rifle through the cash slot while threatening to shoot the gun.
The suspect then became frustrated due to not knowing how to operate the rifle and
ran out of the store to a dark colored sport utility vehicle. Houston PD
