As police were investigating the shooting that injured a truck driver, they said the suspect was able to leave a trail of more victims.
HOUSTON, Texas -- It was midnight on Feb. 8 when a tow truck driver named Jimmy said he was just trying to clean his car but was held up at gunpoint.
"He was covered in a face mask, pulled out the gun and told me don't move," Jimmy recalled."I still got that one bullet in my stomach." Authorities believe this was a robbery and said the suspected shooter is 31-year-old Zachary Smith. Jimmy said he watched Smith jump in the passenger seat of a vehicle and take off, but another tow truck driver who saw the commotion followed the suspect's car.They said Smith got out of the car and ran, but a K-9 officer took him down, and an ambulance was called to treat his wounds.
Smith was arrested that night and charged with evading arrest and aggravated assault on a public servant for ramming a police officer's car. His bonds totaled $70,000. He made bail and was released before ever being charged with shooting Jimmy.
