KHOU.com staff report

HOUSTON—A construction worker who shot and killed a suspected robber will not be charged.

On May 25, a suspect confronted Juan Ibarra in the parking lot of an apartment complex in southeast Houston, said police.

Ibarra said the suspect put a gun to his back and demanded money.

That’s when, police records show, Ibarra, who had his own gun, fatally shot the suspect.

Several months later, a Harris County grand jury has decided to no bill Ibarra.
