Robbery suspect shot by homeowner, facing charges as deputies look for more victims, HCSO says

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- The Harris County Sheriff's Office says a man tried robbing a family at gunpoint in Cloverleaf, but the homeowners shot back.

Deputies say 18-year-old Anthony Cantera is in the hospital recovering from his injuries and facing aggravated robbery charges.

Investigators say there may be more victims out there. They say there may be other robberies he's connected to that haven't been reported to law enforcement.

Mauro Torres Zamora has been living on Victoria Street in east Harris County for years.

He says he was surprised to learn what happened a few doors down and that he's never seen Cantera before.

Investigators say Cantera pointed a gun at a neighbor on Wednesday morning a few houses down from Torres and took a man's keys and wallet.

Deputies say the family of the victim came outside when Cantera pointed his gun at them and fired. That's when investigators say the homeowners shot Cantera in the leg.

Investigators say this may not be Cantera's first robbery.

Anyone with information related to this robbery or Cantera is urged to call the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
