'Mr. Qadous was well known in the community, and he was a friendly, kind and generous man,' ADA Barney said.
A 28-year-old man was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the deadly shooting of a Houston gas station clerk in 2019.
Officials say because Douglas pleaded guilty, he can’t appeal the conviction or punishment, and he has to serve at least half of his sentence before he is eligible for parole. According to the DA’s office, Qadous had a gun and tried to defend himself, but Douglas pulled a 9mm semi-automatic pistol with an extended clip and shot him three times. The men then fled the scene.
