ACCORDING to the Houston Police Department, a search is underway for a suspect who allegedly shot a food delivery driver while he was on the job on Friday evening.
Commander Kenneth Campbell said an Uber Eats driver was making a delivery at an apartment complex in the 16200 block of Imperial Valley Drive around 10 p.m.
Once the driver completed the delivery, CrimesChroniclers learnt that the suspect reportedly walked up to him as he approached to get back in the car and shot the man in the chest.
Police said the man’s wife and child were inside the car when the shooting happened.
“The male returned to his car and went further down the street.
“Our officers actually met the complainant and found him right down the street.
“They started first aid using a chest seal,” Campbell said.
ABC13 Houston said the victim was transported to the hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable.
The wife and child were not hurt.
Campbell said HPD is investigating the case as a robbery but is also considering the possibility of a carjacking.
As of when filing this report, HPD had not identified a suspect, nor is there a description.
