Northeast Harris County
A suspect in a deadly Cracker Barrel shooting was shot and killed by deputies Monday at 6 p.m. in the 17700 block of W. Lake Houston Parkway, authorities said.
Over the weekend, Cracker Barrel manager Robin Baucom, 59, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery before the restaurant opened, and authorities had been trying to track down who did it.
Authorities say deputies had been watching the suspect all day and trying to make an arrest, when the man ran from them.
During the chase, the suspect reportedly made gestures as if he were pointing a weapon at the deputies. At that, the deputies opened fire and shot the man, who was taken to the hospital where he later died, authorities said.

West Houston
Around 8 p.m. Monday, Houston police arrived to an apartment complex at 10100 Lansdale at the West Beltway and found a man dead in the parking lot.
Police say neighbors heard gunshots and called police.
Officials had little information other than there was a bicycle next to the man, but they are unsure if he was riding it.
No information was released on possible suspects or a motive.
East Houston
Police believe it may have been a botched robbery that left two people dead in two different locations in east Harris County.
Officials say it began on Peppertree Lane, and surveillance video shows a man in a truck pull into a school parking lot and sit for about 15 minutes.
That's when a dark-colored Chrysler sedan with three suspects inside pulled up. Two people got out of the car and started shooting into the man's truck, deputies say. The man was killed.
Based on the video, police believe a woman was in the truck with the man who was shot, but she got out as the shooting started.
Authorities believe she may have been setting up the man.
At some point, she got caught in the crossfire.
Once the shooters realized she was injured, they pulled her into their car and drove off to Penn City Road.

That's where officers believe a getaway truck was waiting for the shooters, who ended up leaving the woman's body there.
The woman's family told police they were texted by someone, possibly one of the suspects, saying she had been shot and they could find her on the side of the road.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
