HOUSTON — Houston police have released surveillance video of the alleged gunman who they said shot and killed a man at a store on the city’s north side late Thursday.
Lt. E. Pavel with HPD said the shooting happened before 11 p.m. in the 1400 block of Cavalcade.
The person on the surveillance video was seen wearing a mask and dressed in a very distinct green-colored camouflage outfit.
Although not confirmed, Houston police believe this person may be responsible for killing 55-year-old Pat Wright.
A preliminary investigation revealed Wright and his wife were leaving a convenience store. Just moments after Wright held the door open for his wife, someone came up behind them and shot him several times.
Wright collapsed and died in the parking lot in between two vehicles. The suspect, who is still on the run, fled on foot heading southbound, witnesses said.
Wright's wife was not physically hurt.
Witnesses described the suspect as a man wearing a black face covering, a green shirt and black pants.
The motive for the crime is unknown, KHOU 11's Michelle Choi reported.
Wright's brother said Thursday night's killing is even more tragic because their sister passed away just last week.
Police are now reviewing surveillance video. Anyone with information can call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
