AUTHORITIES in Houston are searching for two teenage suspects accused of shooting and killing an employee at the Houston Farmers Market in the Greater Heights area early Thursday morning.
It was gathered that the deadly shooting happened just before 4:20 a.m. on Airline Drive, just south of I-610 North Loop.
ABC13 Houston reported Thursday morning that authorities said the victim’s job was to check in delivery trucks.
He was reportedly with a security guard in the guard shack when they saw two young suspects trying to steal a golf cart.
The victim, described as a man in his 40s, went outside and confronted the suspects, and that’s when he was shot multiple times, according to Houston Police Department.
CrimesChroniclers learnt that the suspects took off after the shooting, leaving the employee for dead in the parking lot.
Investigators said at least four shell casings were found at the scene.
“The building is open, I guess, early in the morning for deliveries.
“They have one door that was open. Somehow they knew that would be open and they were able to go inside.
“We don’t know if they took anything, but they did have backpacks on them.
“We can assume they were here to steal something,” Det. D. Crowder said.
Investigators said they don’t believe the suspects could have gone far, noting that one of them was wearing flip-flops.
