Taqueria Robber Shot Dead By Diner In Texas: The name of the patron who fatally shot a masked robber inside a Houston taco shop and gave the frightened patrons their stolen money is still unknown, despite authorities releasing a surveillance photo of the suspect and asking him to come forward for interrogation on Sunday.
As the bandit circled the restaurant demanding customers to hand over their wallets while threatening them with what appeared to be a real handgun, the unidentified customer was seen pulling a pistol and turning the tables on the bandit in graphic security footage from The Ranchito #4 taqueria in southwest Houston.
As several of the customer’s dove under tables, the video showed the obstinate customer pulling out his gun and firing from his seat at a booth where he was dining with a man, striking the robber multiple times in the back. According to the video, the shooter lingered over the assailant after he had fainted near the entrance of the restaurant before firing another point-blank shot.
On the footage, it was possible to hear at least nine gunshots. The incident did not cause any other injuries.
Late on Thursday night inside a taqueria in southwest Houston, a customer shot and killed a man who attempted to rob customers while carrying a gun.

“According to witnesses, the guy entered the eatery and demanded money from customers while pointing a gun at them. One of the customers, described as a white or Hispanic male, pulled out a gun of his own and shot the suspect multiple times as he was collecting money from customers “said the police in a statement.

According to authorities, the suspect was completely covered in black at the time of the crime, including a black ski mask and black gloves.
Paramedics at the site declared him dead, according to the authorities.
