Investigators Seek Public's Help in Identifying Robbery Suspect

On Jan. 5, the suspect entered the Shell Gas Station at 12261 Bellaire and pointed a gun at the store clerk.  The clerk did not believe the suspect was serious and grabbed for the suspect’s wrist.  The suspect then fired once into the back wall of the business and demanded the clerk give him all the money from the cash register.  The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction after getting the money from the clerk. 

Anyone with information on this case is urged to contact the Westside Robbery Division at 281-584-4750 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
