And this tidbit:

“On Monday, the medical examiner identified 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington as the robbery suspect who was killed.

Records show Washington had an extensive criminal history and was out on bond during the would-be robbery.

Records show that in 2015, Washington was convicted on a lesser charge of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection to the shooting death of 62-year-old Hamid Waraich, a cell phone store owner. Houston police also charged two other men.

According to records, Washington was released on parole in 2021 and charged with assaulting his girlfriend in December 2022.

The DV saw him ROR’d.

Just so people don't get confused, here are the key players:

The armed robber - Eric Eugene Washington. Extensive criminal history as noted above. Current status: Took the room temperature challenge. As a tidbit, if Harris County didn't have a woke DA and woke judges he could be alive in prison.

The customer/shooter - unnamed as he hasn't been charged. All we know is he's 46, has an attorney, and has met with authorities. Current status: Awaiting grand jury.

Here is an account of the 2013 cell phone store robbery and murder, that Mr. Washington partook in:

Hamid Waraich had never experienced any violent crime at his southeast Houston cellphone store.

In the few years the 53-year-old father of three owned the business, his son, Omar Waraich, could only recall one incident - a burglary that didn't happen during business hours and in which no one was hurt.


But Monday afternoon, two masked robbers wearing hooded sweatshirts, at least one of them armed, forced their way into the Boost Mobile store at 5307 Telephone where they shot Hamid Waraich, police said

Police still searching
Paramedics took Hamid Waraich to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he later died.

"Taking someone's father, such a good father, for money," Omar Waraich,28, said.

Police are still searching for the two robbers who entered the store around 4:30 p.m. and forced Hamid Waraich to the ground. The two men demanded cash from Waraich and the customers who were inside the business at the time.

One of the men allegedly shot Waraich after the store owner triggered an alarm, police said.
The robbers then fled the scene.

Looks to me like the perp was long overdue a fatal shooting.

This will go the grand jury and get no billed.

No charges, from Grand Jury.

^ Any time I see a video like this, of some holdup man getting shot by some bystander or would be victim, I think to myself "this is what needs to happen every single time."

Kudos to the Grand Jury. It was the right outcome.

Jeff Cooper used to say that the best solution to crime was a dead criminal, preferably at the scene, or words to that effect.

For the rest of us, those are words to live by.

The good samaritan has been basically declared not guilty of charges, "no billed" by a grand jury.
