HOUSTON, Texas – An 18-year-old has been arrested and charged, and two more suspects are wanted in a robbery and kidnapping at a gas station in southwest Houston last month.
On Aug. 24, Houston police investigators said they received a call stating that three men had robbed them, stolen their vehicle, and kidnapped and assaulted them.
The victims said they were at a gas station located in the 10900 block of Beechnut when three unknown men approached their vehicle, pulled out guns, and demanded their property.
The victims said they were searched by the men before being demanded to get back inside their vehicle with the three men.
The victims were then forced to drive to a nearby apartment complex located at 11200 Bissonnet St. The suspects then removed the victims from the vehicle, assaulted them by hitting them in the head with their handguns, and then told them to walk away.
The suspects then got back into the vehicle and fled the scene.
Damari Veals, 18, was identified as one of the suspects and has since been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and aggravated kidnapping. He was arrested on Aug. 29 and booked into the Harris County Jail.
The Houston Police Department has since released surveillance video of the remaining two suspects. Anyone with information on their identities is asked to contact Crime Stoppers DIRECTLY. To remain anonymous and to be considered for a cash payment, call 713-222-TIPS (8477), or submit an online tip at www.crime-stoppers.org or through the Crime Stoppers mobile app.
