Houston police said a 23-year-old man was shot and killed when he tried to rob a food truck on South Main on Tuesday

HOUSTON — Investigators said a 23-year-old man was shot and killed Tuesday when he tried to rob a food truck in southwest Houston.

According to the Houston Police Department, it happened in a parking lot off South Main Street just inside Beltway 8. HPD tweeted about the shooting just after 2 p.m.

What happened

Keshondra Howard Turner's family owns the truck, which has been operating in the parking lot off South Main at Fondren for about three years. Turner, 53, is the cook behind the counter of the soul food truck. She and her family started Elite Eats in 2020.

"Ox tail, and we’ve got good hamburgers, pork chops, wings. People come from all over to eat here," family member Jacqueline Mitchell said.

According to HPD Lt. Bryan Bui, a man pulled up to the food truck Tuesday around 1 p.m. and asked what they served. When Turner showed him, the man pulled out a gun and got out of his truck, Bui said.

She was able to close the window, but the man opened it back up and put his arm inside the food truck while pointing the gun at her. That's when, according to Bui, the suspect tried to shoot but his gun jammed.

Turner then shot the man several times, police said. He collapsed about 50 feet away from the truck, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

HPD investigators said nothing was taken from the food truck and they're checking the area for surveillance video. Bui said the robber didn't fire a shot. Investigators also said that Turner is licensed to carry.

How is it even possible for a gun to jam before it is even fired. That isn't possible. Did the moron try to rob someone without a round in the chamber???

Light strike/misfire?
Had it happen to me once with a Glock of all things.
Dropped the mag, cleared the chamber and looked at the primer. You could see just a faint indentation.
Only time with no other issues ever from that pistol.
At least it was the POS gun and not hers.

It does, but it sucks worse he put her in that spot and her being dead would have sucked more for her family.

Hopefully she isn’t hit too hard by the guilt afterwards.
