Friend of robbery victim shoots armed suspect dead in southwest Houston

A man suspected of taking part in an armed robbery was shot and killed outside a southwest Houston convenience store after a friend of the robbery victim intervened, Houston police said. Three men allegedly robbed the victim, and one—who was armed with a Glock—took his property; the friend fired a shot that struck the armed suspect in the chest. The other two suspects fled, while the victim and shooter left together in a vehicle. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to identify everyone involved; no arrests or charges have been reported.
