UH Student Robbed
On August 27, 2024, University of Houston police officers responded to an Aggravated Robbery with a Deadly Weapon inside a dormitory. Upon arrival, officers interviewed the victim, who revealed they had been chatting on Instagram with a female. Their playful exchange led to the victim inviting her to their dorm room around 3:00 a.m. After spending some time together, the female left the room, and the victim stepped out to use the community bathroom. Upon returning, the victim was shocked to find two suspects, rummaging through their belongings. Startled, the victim dropped their cellphone, at which point both suspects brandished handguns, grabbed the phone, and fled on foot in an unknown direction. A tipster contacted Crime Stoppers and provided the names of the two men who were arrested as a result. Investigators later connected one of the suspects to a prior violent crime—the fatal shooting of a 90-year-old Navy veteran during a carjacking.
