Armed Restaurant Robbery Suspect Shot Dead by Customer

- The restaurant customer who shot and killed an armed robber is coming forward. The drama erupted at a restaurant in Houston, Texas. An armed robber ordered everyone in the restaurant to hand over their money. As the gunman walked by, an armed customer fatally shot the robber. The customer then took off in a pickup truck before police arrived at the scene. Now, the armed diner's lawyer reached out to the district attorney's office saying his client wants to talk about what happened.
The gun might be fake but the robbery was real
But no matter the robbery, it was shooting him in the back when he's leaving. You can't shoot a guy in the back who's leaving, even if cash stolen. A Korean store owner was jailed for 7 years for shooting a armed robber in the back when he was fleeing.
@@asianamericancasestudies6434 bro he was NOT fleeing lmao
he literally still had the gun in the air and was walking around
it wasnt him leaving
@@asianamericancasestudies6434 in what part was he “fleeing”? It was accidental and for defense, if he had known it was a fake gun he would’ve not done it therefore he’s innocent. It’s not his fault that dumbass their used a fake gun.
@@asianamericancasestudies6434 he was not leaving yet or running away he was still robbing them
@@asianamericancasestudies6434 ok, how about this
Don’t be retarded and rob places 😅😅
A police officer wouldn’t wait to find out if a firearm is a toy or not. They would have done exactly what this customer did.
That is not correct- police can be prosecuted if a criminal is not an immediate threat, as it should be. I've seen many instances where police give 10-15 commands to a suspect to drop the gun, and commend them for saving many lives.
If you draw on a cop, the cop is not waiting to see if it’s real. Period

100% self defense.
A criminal doesn't get to pretend a toy gun is a real gun and not suffer the consequences. Unless the customer had X-ray vision, the customer was acting in self-defense.
It’s not a self defence

I see nothing wrong with this the man had every right to defend himself. He and the other customers did not know that was a fake gun.
And he was also at no risk of being hurt by the robber, even if it had been a real gun.
I feel so bad for the old man… his reaction to finding out it was a toy gun really shows his good innate character. I pray he doesn’t blame himself
No doubt.
That man might have saved the other people in the restaurant, but what he did was unlawful as he fled the scene. He should definitely face some criminal charges for fleeing the scene... like maybe a $50 fine
@@Defender78 Ok
He's going down 🤡
Exactly. I hope he gets the help he needs to learn to not blame himself, accept that it happened, and move on with his life. He did nothing wrong.
This is self defense 100 percent. He had no idea it was fake. He was protecting himself.
he’s probably gonna go to jail. i saw the video and most of the shots were self defense but the last 4 wasnt he literally went up to him and continued to shoot and shot his head
@@calebeneks its a criminal homicide hell be charged for more than a manslaughter hopefully he serves life
@@calebeneks "Until the target is a non-threat."
Ehhhh maybe if he stopped after the first few shots… but once he walked up and started shooting his body he sort of sealed the deal. Even in Texas once you continue shooting when there’s no longer an active threat, it becomes manslaughter.
I think the charges would be related to fact that he fled the scene more so than for shooting the guy .
The piece if garbage was taken out? Fantastic 👏
Charged? That man was totally making justice here, why would he go to jail?
because this is modern America
Man I honestly feel bad for the guy when he discovered the gun was a fake. 😢
The feeling of being the hero and the villain at the same time is quite a weird feeling lol
A dumber reason to die for the dead guy.
The criminal knew exactly what he was doing, he was just too much of a homeless bum to find someone that would sell him a gun. That's why he was robbing a ma and pa restaurant
Don’t feel bad. Inside edition didn’t show but he shot the thief like 5 times, thief fell to ground dying, customer got up and shot him 4 more times and then one to the head.
He was trigger happy, it was no longer self defense. Look up the whole video
@@choppchopp9975even if it is a fake gun he is still a bad guy stealing other peoples money and point a gun on them it doesnt matter if its fake or not imagine its not fake and you try to stop him and he shoots you. He wouldnt be dead if he just stayed home or work like normal people.

I feel terrible for this man I feel like this is going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
Wrong. The guy shot already killed a father of 3 . served 7 years and was on parole . The victim children Said they were glad. The thug shot their dad in the back after he robbed him as a thank you !!!!! But this time a hero stopped a cold blooded murder from ever doing it again

You can clearly see how upset this guy was once he found out it was a toy gun. I hope this man does not go to jail for protecting himself.
Did you watch the whole video?
Yes, of course, he's upset he just killed that man. However, he couldn't possibly know this was not a real gun. He reacted based on what he saw. Texas law says it's ok to gun him down...even if he shoots him from behind.
He couldn't know if he was to turn around and finish them all off or not.
What’s sad is that it’s even an option he could go to jail. God bless this man and ANYONE who stands up in the protection of themselves and others. 👏🙌💪
@@danielwade1978 yes is possible he could go to jail not for killing the robber as it’s clearly self defence but he could got to prison for leaving a crime scene
He should have never left the scene. Thats the only thing he did wrong
Totally justified. The robber didn't brand his gun to be fake.
This is not even a debate. The man not only acted in his self-defence, but saved others life as well.
Immediate justice. That man must be free and decorated.
We need this. Criminals need to fear possible consequences and be deterred.
W comment
I understand the sentiment but it’s blind. There have been all types of weapons held by government and the people. Criminals will do as they like. People will do what they like.
@fourthprince1099 I'm very much in favor of gun control, but criminals don't want to get shot in the face any more than anyone else. If you give a criminal a choice between a store guarded by armed security and one unguarded, they will choose the latter.
That said, the amorphous threat of bystanders maybe having guns is different from the concrete deterrent of police or armed guards, and probably isn't enough to deter all criminals.
Anyway, props to this guy for stepping in.
This will only make themore agressive. If criminals fear that someone will kill them they will come ready to kill first, they won't stop crime. Use your brain
The shooter is a criminal, and yes, he SHOULD fear the consequences of his actions. Unless you think perfectly innocent people always flee the scene after standing over a wounded suspect and shooting him point blank in the head.
He wasn’t to know that gun was fake, as far as he was aware he was defending the life of everyone there. Props to him
@@mskwyditd4118Who cares if the thug died. The next one will think twice.
@@mskwyditd4118 Calling an ambulance for someone who just robbed you at gun point is the last thing you care about in the moment. Besides, you don't get to complain about rights and whatnot when you threaten those of others and their lives.
Also, the robber wanted everyone to believe that the gun was real; this wasn’t some kid playing in the street with an Airsoft.
I’m not in favour of the death penalty, and I’m no fan of vigilante justice. But I do believe in occupational hazard for criminals. If you die while committing a serious crime, no big whoop.

The gun turned out to be fake, but the robbery was completely real.
The only thing the customer did wrong was leave the area since the police would need a statement from him. Doubt he would have been arrested since BB or real the shooting was justified.

Real or fake guns don't matter, He chose the wrong path and ended up with extreme consequences. Who knows how many times he must've done it but just this time he got served and that's called "Karma".

@@achmed2pac innocent blood? WTF you say
I feel for him tbh. The feeling you must get when you realize the life you just took was over a bb gun and not real life threatening danger. We're in an age where people just say "deserved" and move on without really taking into account what a life truly is
Exactly
he was going to buy a real gun with the money
This criminal does not deserve to be called a person, if he already stole, he did not think he would care if he hurt a person along the way.
this is the most reasonable comment i have read in a while
The criminal made a choice. It did not turn out the way he planned. That's how it goes with committing a crime. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Didn't he ever see a movie???
I’m disliking this video smh. Why would you even give any bit of validity that this guy could be charged? It’s making us normal people scared of where the term self defense is going. I don’t want to live in a world without self defense
I'm glad he won't be charged. He's a hero in my book. My heart goes out to him because I can only imagine the courage it took to defend himself and those people in that moment. He really thought it was the right thing to do.
Hopefully he won't be. A grand jury is looking at this case as we speak
He will be, the news isn't saying what happened or showing the full video. He shot him in the back several times, which was justified. But then he took the kids bb gun, walked like ten feet away with it, then came back and finished him off with one more point blank to the back of the dome.

It must be a terrible feeling to think that you did the right thing, only to find out that you might have killed somebody who wasn't even really a threat. I'm just glad that he won't be charged, because he did the right thing.

@@88997799 he was upset because in the unedited video it shows him shoot the guy in the head after he was no longer a threat.
He shot the gun so easily. Shouldnt he asked for him to drop the gun at gunpoint? Wait a few minutes, maybe they will find out the gun is fake, maybe no one has to die.
the right thing is subjective. you think he did i dont.
"Wasn't even a real threat??????" It doesn't matter if the gun is real or not, the situation he created was real, that is enough on its own

Maybe you're worried the robber might have friends. The place might not be safe to stay.
To be clear, you should 100% call the police and claim self defense as soon as possible. Tell others and drive to the police station if you don't have a phone. Else, the police may investigate for murder if nobody tells them otherwise and then you're going to court for murder once they find you.

The reaction of the shooter when he realized it was fake shows how horrible he felt. He probably cries himself to sleep at night knowing he took a man's life and didn't need to. He still did the right thing and the robber did a really stupid thing but it's very sad. Too many dumb people think it's like a videogame but real life happens fast. The robber chose to rob people with a gun (seemingly real) and even robbed another guy before who died as a result. This was about as justified a shooting as you could get.

This guy would absolutely be charged if he was black.
nah bro. I certainly do think that people should be allowed to take measures into their own hands in situations like this. the guy from what i've seen in the video didn't look like he was much of a threat. flailed his gun around quite randomly. that said, you absolutely never know what people do in these kinds of situations so i think it's generally absolutely justified.
that said, the enormously big red flag is the fact that the guy took off immediately no questions asked without contacting the police tells me everything I need to know about the guy. definitely think he should be prosecuted to a degree.

What kind of warped logic is this?.So when I see a kid playing around in the yard with a gun i must assume it's real? This wasn't self defense, this was someone with an itchy trigger finger who used excessive force regarding a crime that does not carry any such retaliatory justification.
And of course the guy was talking about a robbery and not about a kid holding a toy gun lol
@@brandonsmith9098 How is that even comparable? Did you even see what this video was about?
@@brandonsmith9098 Worst comparison ever, it is as if you had commented without having seen the video.
But is the penalty death?
Darwin says, "Don't rob a restaurant in Texas."
New York needs to pay attention to this.
The armed customer did nothing wrong in this situation. The fact that robber was using a fake gun is meaningless, no one else in that situation knew until the guy was taken down. The armed customer not only protected himself, but he also protected the other customers and employees of the restaurant from a man perceived to be a threat.
The hooded teen was forced into life of crime because of systematic racism and didn't deserve to be murdered by a trigger happy white supremacist. The white guy will probably serve life sentence for this while the teen's family will likely get millions of dollars in fundraising as compensation. No mother should have to fear for her son's life when he is robbing a place.

Omg the anger when he realized it was a toy, like this guy put him in a terrible situation, shooting let alone killing someone changes you, it's not easy to cope with, I just feel for this guy.
Huh? He murdered a kid.
@@saax3816 he didn't have a choice, you might be ok with these vigilantes running around taking whatever they want but I'm not, I don't care if he's 17 or 71 you don't rob people
@@saax3816 Eric Eugene Washington is not a kid. He's a 30 year old loser with a criminal history. He was out on bond when he tried to rob these people. Looks like karma finally caught up to him.

IT WAS SELF DEFENSE DONT LOCK HIM UP !!!!😫
He fkd around and found out.
Self defense 100%
Why did he flee?
@@moonshoes11he shot the guy 5 more times after he was clearly dead and shot him in the head in one of those shots

Does that bother you?
Why did he flee?
@@otal0721
I’m not saying the self defense argument is invalid.
I’m asking why he decided to flee.
Dam props for the guy stepping up, but sad for this kid doing this and the path he took in life.
I know. He really wasted his life. R.I.P
he shouldve apply for a casher position and work his way up. but too late now
True. He looked young but unfortunately he made some bad decisions.
Takes a special breed to rob in America were guns outnumber people
I don’t feel bad at all. Win stupid prizes.
stupid reporter asking if the samaritan should be charged because the robber used the toy gun. Let her be the victim to see how she'd feel.
Self defense........ He should get a award.
FYI. The robber's name was Eric Eugene Washington, who was sentenced to 15 years for armed robbery in 2013 (a robbery in which a man was killed). He served only 6 years and was released on parole in January 2021. Apparently, Washington was not a changed man.
Disgusting
Well he started robbing with nonlethals, look like he learned some lesson. Besides we have no clue how eric was living before and after incarceration. Socioeconomic circumstances can lead a person to take desperate actions, thats why you guys should invest more in rehabilitation and less on arming every average Joe waiting for his vigilante moment to shine
Fake news will make sure nobody knows that criminals history and our government left will continue to let these dangerous leaches out to victimize us while doing everything they can to take away our second amendment.
Insert law and order music effect
karma will find you
This guy is a hero, it doesn’t matter if the gun was fake or not, the guy didn’t take any chances and could’ve saved others lives.
It does matter???
Use you're brain
Facts
While it’s great that he took action quickly and saved people’s lives potentially, we cannot ignore the fact that he was clearly going for the kill on the robber. He shot the robber in the head and then felt the need to shoot 3 more times. He fully executed the robber.
He did execute the guy though....
@@stephenhill3286 you have to eliminate the threat.
The robber valued their possessions more than his life.
Called it. Grand Jury did not indict (01/03/2024)
At least someone actually did something.
God Bless Texas
Everyone would've lived had he done nothing.
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls In this scenario yes, but you can't take that chance with knowing everything, at that point you're putting your own life on the line on the chance that it is a fake gun, with the worst outcome with the gun being real and you dead
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls no he took out the garage he's a hero 🤡
@Clark Kent I've seen you before. I'm sure you've never been in a situation like this. You don't have time for cops when seconds count and they're minutes away. You act and claw at every advantage to tip the scales in your favor
I can't imagine how that man feels not only taking someones life, but on top of that knowing the fact that it was a toy gun. That is bound to add an extra load of stress.
I’m sure he’s not too upset about it any more than he would be after stomping the on a cockroach
He did not take someones life, he took out a robber's life. If you want to play this games get ready for the consequences, period.
That Ghetto-Blaster got what he deserved. It doesn't matter if it was a toy gun.
Yep, exactly. Thugs cause regular citizens unnecessary stress everyday. Just because you rob people with a toy gun, doesn’t make the action any less cruel.
But he only knew that after the fact
Ummm, the police want this man…
TO GIVE HIM A MEDAL.
Why is anyone even debating whether or not this was self defense?!
The robber is the literal embodiment of play stupid games on stupid prizes good on the customer for defending himself and the others👏👏👏
Well said !!! I agree
@@stacypeters2856 Yeah but now he gotta deal with that guilt. Killing someone hunts you the rest of your life u see them in your dreams. We can all agree it was justified but deep down inside dude feel guilty from how he reacted when he found out the gun was fake. I dun seen people who actually got shot in a robbery and still forgave the people
@@whywomenhatemyforeskin2910 Hes also going to be found guilty when they arrest this man
@@whywomenhatemyforeskin2910 bruh why would he own a gun if he is not ready to kill? Lol
It's so sad bit It's real
It's good to see you can still defend yourself without going to prison
Not in all states. I love my lone star state III%
Let's hope
Well. Not in states like California, over there this would be murder since the robbers back was turned. I grew up in that hell hole, glad I left...
@@Laat-Dovah-Kiin California moment
Well we got to remember it’s in Texas
Could he be charged? For what? Probably should get a medal.
Good, one man doesn't cowar down and takes out the trash
This poor guy can absolutely positively NOT be charged. This was self-defense, plain and simple. He believed his life, and the lives of others were in danger, and he acted appropriately.

The fact the gun was fake has absolutely NOTHING to do with the robbery. He was still threatening them and stealing their money. Crazy how the justice system tries to even think about coming after victims for simply protecting themselves.
Yeah instead of imprisoning the criminals they lick their lips trying to go after innocent people. If we focused more on suffocating criminals by helping victims we'd live in a cleaner, better society.

Play stupid games, win stupid prices.
The justice system hasn't even gotten a chance to work because the man who killed someone in self defense also fled the scene. This is still under investigation as far as i know. For the justice system to work you have to use the system the way its designed.
In the philippines, wont matter if the gun is fake. It will still be considered as a weapon in a robbery.
Could he be charged ? What a joke.
Dang you could feel how he felt when he found out it was a toy that must hurt
Without a doubt
Gotta live with the consequences oh wait hes dead
Now he must live with that feeling of guilt.
That's what keeps replaying in my mind. I hope that man has a strong support group- because that would have destroyed me smh
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 gult over what?? The ROBBERY was real. That's why he wasn't charged.
No way should he be charged.
The customer had a reasonable belief that the BB gun was a real weapon
I knew someone years ago that robbed a convenience store with a toy gun that looked real. They were charged with armed robbery because the clerk and everyone else there thought it was a real gun. This man had no way of knowing whether the gun was real or not which makes this an armed robbery. This guy had every right to defend himself from what he and everyone else there thought was a deadly situation.
What a stupid court. This distortion of facts and reality is only experienced in the US
@zyskaat Yes it does, and nothing of value was lost in the case of this guy's life anyway.
@zyskaat doesn't mean that robber can threatened people either. Just because its fake gun. Better do something good that try to rob a restaurant.
@zyskaat Doesn't mean he can rob with a gun, fake or not!!!!! If he got killed, it was justified!!!!!
@@andregenter4213 If the robber had a gun, fake or not, the court should give the self defence person an innocent verdict!!!!!
