Police say an armed suspect who robbed a man in the driveway of his residence may have followed his victim home from a gas station.

According to Humble Police Detective Duke Caruthers, the 31-year-old resident of the Meadowbrook Mobile Home Park in the 2700 block of Wilson Road, accompanied by another male, had just turned into his driveway around 10:30 p.m. Nov. 30 when he was confronted with a “long, black shotgun” pointed at his face.

“The suspect demanded money and, fearing for his life, the [victim] complied by giving him his wallet,” Caruthers said. “The suspect then told the two men not to look at him as he left the scene.”

Caruthers said both men told police the suspect fired a warning shot as he fled the scene on foot, running east on Wilson.

“The [victim] said just prior to the robbery he saw a man who looked like the suspect at the Valero gas station at Will Clayton at Wilson,” Caruthers said.

The suspect is only described as a black male who was wearing a black hoodie. His face was covered by a black bandana.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Humble Police Department at 281-446-7127.
