A man was ambushed and shot during an attempted robbery on the east side of Houston early Thursday morning after giving four women a ride home from a gym, police said.
Around 12:15 a.m., officers were dispatched to a report of a shooting in the 1300 block of Clinton Park Street, Lt. Ignacio Izaguirre, of the Houston Police Department, told On Scene reporters. Emergency responders took the man to the hospital, where he was expected to survive.The man told investigators he was leaving a nearby Planet Fitness gym when four women approached and asked for a ride home, Izaguirre said.
As the woman was leaving, two men approached the vehicle with guns, Izaguirre said. One of them moved toward the trunk, while the second opened the driver’s side door. The driver tried to flee, but one of the men shot him and one woman took the keys from his vehicle after he’d gotten about half a mile away, Izaguirre said. The three women fled with the keys to the victim's car.
