HPD links gunman in deadly SW Houston restaurant shooting to 3 other robberies

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Houston police hope a composite sketch of the serial robbery suspect who gunned down a southwest Houston restaurant owner last month will generate the tips they need to catch him.

Police believe the suspect is behind the armed robberies of a Shipley's Donuts off Stella Link, a Food Dollar store on South Post Oak and the New China Restaurant off Highway 6 in Missouri City.

Police say he's also the same gunman who fatally shot 36-year-old Tri Minh Nguyen on March 29 during an attempted robbery at his restaurant, Wahoo's Fish N Wings, in the 12000 block of Fondren.
