HPD Homicide Division Detectives B. Stephens and C. Vaughn reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting in a parking lot of a motel at the above address and found the victim lying on the ground. Witnesses stated they heard gunshots and saw a white U-Haul van, with Arizona license plates AL3-4831, flee the scene, leaving the victim’s body behind. Houston Fire Department paramedics transported the victim to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
A preliminary investigation and evidence from the scene determined the victim pulled into the parking lot in his own vehicle with the two male suspects, who were driving the white van. The two males got into the victim’s car for a short period of time. The suspects then exited the vehicle and were seen holding pistols. The suspect in the gray shirt held a bag the victim tried to get back. While holding him at gunpoint, the suspect pulled the bag from the victim and threw it into an open window of the van. The suspect in the hoodie then got into a struggle with the victim while also pointing a pistol at him.
As the suspect struggled with the victim, the first suspect reached into the victim’s vehicle, grabbed a backpack and took it with him to the van. During the struggle, the suspect shot the victim and then struck him with the van as they fled the scene southbound on the Northwest Freeway service road.
Further investigation identified Robertson as one of the suspects in this case. He was arrested by members of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force without incident.
Subsequent investigation identified Elmore, Jr., a native of Georgia, as the second suspect in this case. Members of the U. S. Marshals Service arrested him in Denver, Colorado on January 30. He is waiting extradition back to Harris County.
