Robber Fatally Shot by Customer At Houston Taco Restaurant | WATCH-it-Happen

*Is he a hero or villain? We’re talking about a man – who Houston police are searching for – who fatally shot a robber at a taco restaurant on Thursday (01-05-23).

It was something out of a movie as video surveillance footage shows the robber entering the restaurant with a black mask and gun drawn and demanding money from customers who were enjoying their meals. However, as the robber goes to exit the establishment after collecting his loot, suddenly one of the customers pulls out a gun, shooting the robber nine times, and killing him.

So, is the man who shot the robber A hero or a bad guy, himself? Thomas Nixon, a former Houston Police Dept. officer, now attorney, explained to KPRC-TV that the shooter was within his rights to protect himself in the situation.

“The person he shot was in the process of committing robbery and consequently his use of force in defense of himself and innocent third parties is completely justified in Texas. He added, “It is a justifiable homicide, but the grand jury in Harris County is going to want to know all parties involved in the homicide so that they can investigate.”
