Man asleep in truck after fight with girlfriend fatally shoots accused thief: TX cops
It’s likely the accused thief didn’t notice his mistake until it was too late, investigators said.
A Texas man was shot to death after breaking into a truck while the owner was asleep inside, with a rifle in reach, officials say.
Deputies responded to the scene of a shooting overnight at an apartment complex in north Houston, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a Feb. 13 post on X, formerly Twitter.
The owner of a truck awoke to find another man inside the vehicle, having broken in, Gonzalez said, and the owner opened fire with an AR-15.
The alleged thief died at the scene, Gonzalez said, adding that he was “possibly armed with pistols.”
Deputies say the man only happened to be sleeping in his truck that night because he had gotten into a fight with his girlfriend, KRIV reported.
