HCSO: Suspect Sought in Violent Robbery
HARRIS COUNTY, TX - The Harris county Sheriff’s Office Robbery Division is seeking the public’s help in identifying a violent male suspect, who shot and robbed a woman of her purse in west Harris County.
On Friday, May 13, 2016 at 11:20 pm, HCSO District 5 patrol deputies responded to a 911 call from a woman who told deputies an unknown male had shot her and stole her purse.
The woman stated she had left work at a business in the 8500 block of Hwy 6 north and West Road. She was walking to a Wells Fargo ATM located in an adjacent parking lot to deposit her paycheck.
As the woman was walking a black male suspect described as 5’11 to 6’ in height, medium build, 20 to 25 years of age, wearing a white t shirt and blue jeans approached her.
The male demanded her purse and tried to take it from her. The woman resisted and he pulled a small pistol and shot one time striking her in the upper shoulder area. He then ran to a waiting white 4 door late model sedan and fled the scene in an unknown direction.
When deputies arrived, the complainant was able to give a description of the male. An important feature of this suspect is his gold teeth.
His front top teeth are gold capped and bottom teeth are a gold checker board pattern.
