A second incident was reported near that same location on the afternoon of Monday, October 20 at approximately 1:30 p.m. This crime resulted in a victim being shot twice in the chest, again by a small caliber gun. The victim was later taken to Ben Taub Hospital where he was operated on for non-life-threatening injuries. The description of the suspects in this case matches that of the October 7 robberies.
The robbers may have gotten away in a white VW Jetta driven by the third suspect.
