TX followup: Armed Robbery Suspect, shot by Armed Samaritan, was Wanted on Murder Charge

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A stranger stepped in to help a man he witnessed being pistol-whipped by a suspected robber in southwest Houston Saturday night, according to police.

On Sunday, ABC13 learned that the suspect was wanted for murder out of Louisiana.

Investigators said the stranger saw the robbery as it was happening at a Chase Bank in the 10400 block of Westheimer Road.

A man pulled into the bank to withdraw money from the ATM when the armed suspect came around the corner and ordered him to hand over money, according to police.

Detectives said the victim reportedly began to comply until the suspect began to pistol-whip him.

That's when police say someone driving by saw the crime happening and pulled out a gun to defend the victim.
