HOUSTON — A customer at Ranchito Taqueria shot and killed a man who robbed the restaurant in southwest Houston late Thursday night, according to the Houston Police Department.

The incident was caught on surveillance video.

Workers at the restaurant were pretty shaken up about the incident. The restaurant said they will reopen around 7 a.m.

This happened just before 11:30 p.m. at the restaurant on S. Gessner near Bellaire Boulevard.

Houston police said an armed man in a mask came inside the restaurant, demanding money and wallets from customers. However, as he was leaving, one of those customers shot the suspect.

None of the other people in the restaurant were injured during the incident.

Investigators said the suspect ended up not having a real gun.

“The robbery suspect he came into the store and was wearing masks and gloves,” HPD Lt. Wilkens said. “He had a plastic pistol possibly an aero soft or possibly a little BB pistol.”

The surveillance video shows the shooting going down. It shows customers, witnesses, and the shooter leaving the scene right after the shooting.

Houston police said they want to talk with all of them.


I like how the news assumes he was leaving. Based on the video shown he was still waiving the gun at patrons.

ETA: the media sounds almost heartbroken that their poor sweet little thief got what was coming to him.

Disgusting

Liberal Houston DA will probably charge the guy who killed the robber.
