The shooting reportedly happened in the parking lot of the store located just north of downtown in the 500 block of Crosstimbers Street, close to 1:00 p.m.
Investigators said employee Dequan Anderson, 21, left the store to make a deposit at a nearby bank when the gunman tried to steal money inside Anderson’s vehicle.
“The employee didn’t give up the money bag, and the suspect took out a handgun and shot the employee several times, striking him in his back and other parts of his body,” Sgt. M. Brady, of the Houston Police Department, said in an interview with Click2Houston.com. “The suspect grabbed the money bag, and took off running with it.”
