Investigators now believe a January altercation at a Houston area gas station that ended when a bystander shot and killed a robbery suspect was actually part of a staged attack to facilitate fraudulent insurance and immigration claims.
22-year-old Rasshauud Scott was shot and killed during an altercation at the Chevron gas station at 11095 Ella Blvd in Houston on Jan. 27. In a Monday press update, the Houston Police Department said witnesses told homicide detectives they had seen a male suspect had robbed multiple people while they were pumping gas before another male who witnesses one of the robberies fired on the suspect, whom police identified as the deceased 22-year-old.
