The man said that he was in his driveway when the suspect, described by police as a black man wearing a red hoodie, approached him and said he was going to take his car. That is when the man ran inside his home and got his nephew, a holder of a concealed weapon.
The suspect then pulled out a gun, shot the vehicle owner, and left without taking anything, according to Lt. Izaguirre of HPD.
Police say within the hour, a second robbery took place where a person matching the description of the first scene took a Sonoma Toyota near the Tierwester area.
